Pre-surgery and Post-surgery
Pre-surgery and Post-surgery Week Before: PreOp Testing The week before I had testing to get done. First, I had to answer a lot of questions. The questions were all about my health history. These questions were very detailed and took a long time. I had an EKG done, a chest x-ray, and blood work done. They took hardly anytime at all. May 6, 2018 Before surgery I did not have any questions to ask my surgeon. The night before I was told to use antibacterial bar soap all over my body. I've never used bar soap so not only was it unpleasant but it smelled quite odd. The smell on my body did go away by morning. I was told not to eat 12 hours before surgery. May 7, 2018 The morning of surgery, I woke up very early (at 4:30 am!). My surgery was scheduled very early so I would not have to spend the day worrying about it. I arrived at the hospital very early. They put me in a pre-op room. I got into the gown, non-slip socks, and sat on the bed. However, I cannot tell you anything
