    Hey girls,
    I’m booked in for surgery in Preston with Dr Mounir on 16th January, and I’ve got my pre op on 20th December.
    Does anyone have any advice on what to ask, and what actually happens? I know I’m seeing the nurse on the same day too but don’t want to forget to ask things that I need to know about!

    Thanks! Xx

    -They ask you health questions , most of them you’ll say no to – hopefully!

    -Sometimes they take blood, my nurse wasn’t going to but then I said I’d had bronchitis a few weeks ago so she wanted to check if there’s any virus left in me just to prevent any infections

    -They weigh and measure you

    -Take your blood pressure

    -Take MRSA Swabs, in your nose , armpit and groin – but you do it yourself – before you start to worry they’re gonna stick a swab down your trousers haha

    -Take before pictures

    -Answer any questions if need be

    I also asked this same question on the forum before I had my pre op,
    But tbh it is best to just ask anything you didn’t ask in the consultation
