Pre-op Assessment

[nicole_44]

Hi All,

Can anyone who has had a pre-op assessment recently for a laparoscopy, give me basic overview of the things that they will do?

Ive never had anything like this so i am over-worrying.

Thanks

Hi, at mine I had blood pressure, height and weight, ecg and had to tell the nurse about my medical history and any other previous procurdures ive had. Then was sent for bloods and for bloods to be done 3 days before the procedure

Hope this was somewhat helpful, when's your lap? x

Thanks so much for your reply. I haven't had many experiences in hospital with anything like this so i think its the 'unknown' making me worry.

My pre op It 13 days away, so not too soon! i dont have a lap date yet

The pre-op I had in Nov was fine. Blood pressure, pulse, o2 sats, a chance to ask questions. I didn't even have to have my blood taken. Please don't worry in my experience, I'e had 3 laps. the nurses are lovely and do their best to put you at ease.
