Pre op question

by peggysue 29th August 2011, 7:42 am

I am going to see mr Chantarasak again on 10th September as I feel I have so many questions to ask before he operates.
But apparently MYA now want to do my pre opp and take bloods.It seems a bit odd seeing as I am not booked in until 20th December.
Is this a normal process cause surely my bloods could change between now and then.
Answers on a postcard please girlies Pre op question 48411

That does seem a bit too far in advance as you are right bloods can change alot in that time. That shouldn't stop you seeing your surgeon to ask more questions though.

I suppose it depends what they're checking your bloods for. Usually I think they are checking for MRSA as a precaution for the hospital. Unless you visit an NHS hospital between the blood being taken and your op they won't be worried. I'd question it but they're probably doing it to save them time and you an extra journey.

It does sound strange that they want to do pre-op stuff when your op isnt until December! but maybe each clinic has a different way of operating things. I would ask when your there why they are doin bloods when its not until december, its not going to hurt to ask, after all your paying hehe. x x

MRSA is screened for by taking swabs (throat, nose, sometimes groin) not blood, so definately ask what they are doing bloods for, most likely is a FBC (full blood count) to make sure you're not anaemic, and maybe electrolytes, could also be to check your clotting make sure you have no issues there.

Thanks sally Pre op question 48411

I will definitely be speaking to them about it. If its for a FBC I would want it checked nearer the time. I feel a little uneasy about them checking so far in advance. I am a haemophilia carrier and although it shouldnt effect my clotting factor....strange things can happen. Thanks girls xx

The gals are right lovely peg, it is a bit soon? They test type, for pregnancy, a few things that are only relevant within the last month will void any testing you have done now... Unless they are shuffling your date forward?! Oh I do hope so, Pre op question 48411

Peggysue: over here my surgeon checked blood for type, anemia and pregnancy - I'd imagine that, other than type, this would have to be done again in December? Unless they're checking if you "qualify" for something?

OMG BKOZ - you're TOMORROW!!!!! Pre op question 154564

i can imagine how excited you are!!!

good luck girlie!
