For me as above but also another classroom session on post op eating, what to expect with stages etc, physio talk, healing process, medications. Very useful & informative.
Hi Paula
I had my pre-op at St Georges last week even though my op isn't until the very end of August. The nurse went through it at lightening speed and I was in and out in well under one hour.
She asked lots of questions about previous medical history - have you ever had palpitations, drug allergies, sleep apnea, etc. Do you take recreational drugs? How breathless are you after one flight of stairs?
Blood pressure, then it was bloods followed by ECG. Then mrsa swab from each nostril and then groin (she left the room for that). She listened to my chest with a stethascope while I took really deep breaths and that was that.
I was weighed and measured on the way out (just when I thought I'd got away with it) and left with a big wodge of paperwork about the pre op diet, the actual op and post op diet.
It was all very quick, but at least it saved on the eye watering high st georges parking charges.
All the best with yours tomorrow.

Jo I had my pre op on 19th June and my op date is 20th August , so 2 months wait for me....but it's all gone quickly, the entire process from referal to op will have taken only 4 and a half months.
Good luck with your pre op
