pre op appt?

so i have a preop appt on the 20th my surgery isnt till the 18th of march. they said be prepared to be a long visit there, and i could eat breakfast becase i dont have to be fasting..so what all happens at a pre-op. i havent even met the suregon yet..i am military and this is the way it works, i guess. and i am pretty sure i do a real pre-op the day before surgery, just wanted to know what to expect for the 20th appt..like x rays, or blood tests?? give me your exprience please.

i went through a military hospital too, and on my pre-op appointment i had labs (a ton of them) an EKG, chest xrays, and then my pre-admins. not too much stuff, but i was there a few hours running around back and forth. hope that helps!!

My 1st appt took forever! It lasted 4 hours. I met the whole bypass team and, i must have taken every test they had. 2 diff types of blood work, EKG, x-ray, ultrasounds, physical, stress test (and that’s the only tests i can remember!) Your lucky you can eat (they would let me!)
