Pre-Op

Hi all,

I've got my pre-op on Tuesday (another step closer!!). Is it just a case of taking my height, weight, blood pressure, swabs? I've just realised I'm not entirely sure what to expect!

Thank you my lovely.

How are you getting on Ind? Have your new boobies stopped itching yet?

Pre ops can vary form place to place but generally include medical questionnaire ,blood pressure check,height/ weight etc and some take MRSA swabs more so if you work in a profession where you are in regular contact with sick people. Basically it's to check that you are fit enough to have an op/general anaesthetic X

I didn't have bloods taken and mrsa swabs were done in nostril and groin leg area at my clinic x

My pre-op was a phone call confirming my next of kin and asking my last blood pressure reading! It wasn't until the morning of the op that they took all my measurements. Also, MRSA is only necessary if you've been in an NHS hospital within the last 6-12m I think, not all take it. I think bloods are only done if you have a disorder too. You will have to pee in a cup though.

I just had to fill in a medical history questionnaire when I had my pre op. The day of op I had blood pressure taken, pulse, weight, pics taken. X
