Pre-op tests??

Can anyone please tell me what happens at a pre-op and what they test for? I have read of a few people who have not been able to have it done and now it’s making me worry..any advice please girls x

Some nurses do extra things if u have any medical problems or history .. Having sai that I’m diabetic and they did was send a letter to doc asking for a summary of health .. At actual pre op u just have mrsa swab in your nose a before pic taken your weight taken some questions on if u have allergies and anaesthesia … Then they just go through details and types of sports bra they recommend 🙂 go thought the list of do and don’t s and that’s about it:)

They do swabs for MRSA (cotton bud in your armpit and up your nose), take your blood pressure, and in some cases do blood tests though I never had to have this, I think it depends on your medical history whether or not this is done and they’ll ask you details about your medical history, meds you may be on etc.
Its nothing scary and only takes about 10 mins.

Hi Hun realy don’t worry . You will meet the nurse she’s very nice , its the same nurse you will see on your one week post op appointment. She sees a lot of before and after girls . She will take your before pics . She’s so professional and sweet .its about 6 pics . Ask you about any medical history swob for mrsa . It’s a long cotton bud you rub under your underarm and up your nose . She might have to take your bloods . I personally am very hard to get blood out off . She was so good , surprisingly my veins are tinny and almost impossible to see , iv had low iron in the pass so they had to check mine . She will give you your brochure for your hospital .talk about after care. It takes about half hr max . Xx hope this helps .

Hi girls thanks very much, Em how come you had to have your blood taken? I hate hAving my bloods done as i am also difficult to get blood out of lol…..what apart from like mrsa would make you unsuitable do you girls know….thanks again xxx

Iv a low iron , almost all the time so its important its under control for healing , lucky they havnt contacted me to say anything bad lol . Mrsa is so treatable if you did have it its just antibiotics for a couple of weeks evern that wouldn’t stop ur op.had to chase up my doctors for there letter .x

Thanks 🙂 does everyone have to have a letter? Xx

A friend of mine had hers a while bad she said she never told her doctor , so maybe not . I remember signing a consent on my first appointment . There was an option not to tell your doctor . X

Oh right thanks xx

hey, i had my bloods done im having uplift though. so they usually do in that case. xx

Thanks 🙂 xx
