Pre-Op ??

I am I the only one who is having her pre-op the day before her surgery? It does seem abnormal.

Mine was only 2 days before. It probably just has to do with when they can schedule you to be seen.

My pre op is the day before my surgery also. I believe it does have to do with coordinating all the schedules. The hospital requires it within 10 days of surgery. I have another exam with the Doc, then I sign the consents with his nurse and get the bloodwork done, have chest xray and ekg at hospital. The hospital is 45 minutes from home and I won't be done with pre op stuff until about 5 PM Tues 07/31 and have to be back again 5:30 AM on Wed 08/01. I guess it could be worse and at least I don't have to do a bowel prep!!!

My pre-op is the tuesday before my surgery, I thought it was weird to be almost a week before surgery when i had my tubal in 1999, I had my pre-op the day before. I guess it depends on the dr. I hate that my surgery is on a monday that ruins my weekend but I will be glad when it is finally over. The waiting is killing me.

My preop was one week before the surgery date. Possible looking at another surgery have left ovary issues :confuse:

Mine is Aug 13 and my surgery is Sept 4, but I go sign consent forms on Aug 27th. So I guess you never know.

Mine was the day before too. I thought it was odd and I actually saw the midwife in the office (she assists my doc with surgery too) and she thought it was a little odd especially because they wanted me on a liquid diet the entire day before! Worked out fine though and the next morning when I showed checked in for surgery the hysterectomy before me cancelled and I went in 4 hours early! It was all like a blur!

My pre-op is two days before (next Tuesday morning) and my doctor told me she would take care of all tests then. I have a phone interview this week though with the hospital's pre-surgical nurse to go over medicines I take and I assume other things to do with the hospital.

Good luck and best wishes to all of you.
