2 days to go!! bloods?

[sarah-91]

I am so excited for my bad to be fitted in 2 days i get admitted at the Claremont hospital in Sheffield on Tuesday at 1pm, however I had a telephoen consultation where i booked in for my surgery and was told i will have my pre op assessment on the morning of my surgery. I have posted off my MRSA swabs but I havent had any blood tests or been weighed infront of anyone. Is this normal? I am scared of getting there and being turned away.

The blood tests will be for blood-typing in case they need to tranfuse you, and they can get those results very quickly. My pre-op was the afternoon before my morning surgery. Everything will be fine. Good luck for Tuesday Sarah.

Thank you for putting my mind at ease, Jo thats brilliant to see how well you have done! Im with Dr Akroyd also, fingers crossed it all goes good, did you get catheterised? x x x

 

[JO28172]

No catheter lol! I went down at 3pm, laid on op table, had line put in n that was my last memory! was done n dusted at 3.45pm and was back in my room at 5.15...apparently I didn't want to wake...always have loved my sleep! My oh came at 8 to see me but to be honest I just wanted to sleep all night! be prepared for pain in left shoulder...it's the gas they put in you...and I also had to have anti sickness as when I came round started heaving to be sick but that stopped it instantly xx

 

[Maphillips]

No as only under about 70 mins I went home next day and back to work two days later and when I had it removed was only in for the day and back to work next day but on light duties it's scary but good and I lost 10 stone in 2 yrs with the band hardest bit is the milk diet but its worth it done it twice now
Good luck your in good hands with mr ackroyd his nurse is really help full to
