So I recieved a call to book my pre-surgical class on Feb 26th and meet with Dr Mamazza on March 17. So happy, that was quick!  So I asked him at what time should I go for bloodwork and he said that there was no bloodwork done at that appt, just a 3 hour class???  I tought we had do get bloodwork done etc...

Hi! So once you get your surgery date the pre-surgery admitting dept will call you and you will have to go in for bloodwork etc about a week before your surgery. I was through Ottawa too. Good luck!

I'm so happy that things are moving along well for you!!...At least you're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Ive been for bloodwork twice already but I imagine that we have to do it again shortly before surgery?

I guess...maybe to make sure everything is ok before we have surgery.  And yes things have gone pretty smoothly, I'm lucky.  But before you know it, soon it will be your turn.  Good luck!

Yay!!!! So happy for you!  I have to do a second round of blood work beginning of March but that is because I had low levels on a few vitamins. Wow, that is fast!!  Hey if they call in the next few weeks its possible we could end up in the same class. That would be funny eh? lol
