What happens at pre-op assessment

[Tanya Jade]

Hey everyone
After many months of waiting after appointments changing / treatment for sleep apnea established etc etc, I am finally on the waiting list for a bypass at the Whittington. I have just spoken to Monica who has booked me in for my pre-op assessment on 23rd April. Anyone know what happens at this appointment, just getting so excited and want to be completely prepared.
Thanks v. much x

Hi
They weigh you, check your heart with a machine thingy, blood pressure, blood test and quite a few questions. Its nothing to worry, i was only there for 45 mins.
Bet your really excited, good luck
