???Guelph Patts

I'm going for my Patts testing in Guelph soon. 

What specifically do they do to you there? Is it like a physical where they weigh you, get blood work, etc?. Or is it stress tests, ultrasounds etc?

How long will I be there? 

TIA

I just went for mine today at guelph they had me fill out a questionaire, talk it over with a nurse and she provided some details as to what would happen then she weighed me took my blood pressure and i had to wait for another nurse to do an EKG and another to do blood work then i had a later appointment with the anestisiologist where he went over everything again and explained some things the nurse appt was at 10:45 and the Anestisiologist at 1:00 i was done by 1:30

Hope that helps Good luck :)

Yep bcsmith sums it up... I waited around for what felt like forever (bring a fully charged smart phone or book).

- answered questions at reception (mostly medical history type stuff / contact info)

- listened to nurse talk

- got weighed (surprise)

- had a mini ekg

- had blood drawn

- waited

- listened to anesthesiologist

- opened up and said ahhhhhh

Really easy... kinda boring but important.

Oh!!! I thought it entailed a lot more "testing".  Thanks for your info!!!!

Did you need to be NPO (nothing by mouth) from the night before?  I will be on the OPTI then so I'm trying to plan out my shakes that day.

You don't need to fast for the testing.... bring your shakes!!  I hope it goes quicker for you then it did for me.
