Is it true?

My surgery is scheduled for Nov.7 (wahooo!), I'm going for preop tests on Monday which is Oct.28. This girl at work swears to me that preop tests has to be done within one week of surgery, no more than that or the tests will expire. I told her that my surgeons office had faxed in the preop test check list to my PCP and that they didn't say anything about that one week experation that she is talking about. I know I could call my surgeons office and ask, but I rather ask here and find out if this is true. Has anybody else heard of this?
