What happens at a pre-op?

They take blood and vitals.

is it normally done a day before? @mommytoabel

Yeah around 1-3 days before. My Dad just had back surgery and his was about 3 days before.

I'm scheduled on the 5th and i was told they can't do it on the 4th cause of the holiday and they will do it the same day ... how long does it take for all that to be done @mommytoabel

Not long! Is this for a c-section? They did mine the same day. They didn't actually induce me for like 2 hours.

yea a C-section.. just wondering if it can be done the same day @mommytoabel

Yeah they just send your blood to the lab to make sure your healthy and then they will start you on whatever method you guys agree on

Yeah it's right when you get there, after signing papers. Took me like 5 mins and was hooked on my iv right after.

Mine is scheduled for the 6th , I'm doing labs an hour or two before the scheduled op at the hospital, at least that's what the doctor told me today
