Just curious, I will have my RnY on 9 September 2016.  What is the pre-op apt?

It is when you meet with the nurse, pharmacists, doctor, anesthesia and do pre-op blood work, ekg etc...

I've done all my appointments through Telehealth as well. The biggest thing was getting the questionnaires back to them from the orientation- I'm with TWH and it was something like 60 pages.  I tried faxing and it took forever.  They suggest mailing it so get that done early as well. :)

Thanks was for replying ,I have done almost everything OTN but was not sure about the pre op. appointment  as it requires tests and such but I called today and they will call me with the date and the list of tests I'll need to get done for it so that is wonderful for me !
