They did a lung capacity test, blood tests, an ecg and they took skin and mouth swabs. Also be prepared for an enema the night before surgery. No one warned me about that one! It was an unpleasant surprise.

Oh joy! thanks for the heads up, so when you booked in the morning of the op did they spend the day doing tests, enema .... and then operate the following day? or was the night before enema a diy job ..... sorry for tormenting you

Because I travelled over from Ireland I was admitted the day before the op. They did all of those tests on admission before bringing me to my room. That night one of the nurses came in to do the enema and I was operated on the next morning.
Honestly ask me anything I don't mind at all. If I can answer I will.

I was in for two nights after the op and the leak test was done while in surgery. I didn't have any test afterwards. My gallbladder wasn't removed.
