I think mine, was about 2 weeks it varies though I think you can have a pre op a few month before op. It includes weight height blood pressure current meds asking certain questions about general health and taking blood. I think that's it you visit a few nurses and they do different jobs with you. Just to see if your OK for the procedure 💗🤗😘 good luck hun 😉

I have my op on the 4th and I haven't heard anything so not sure if I should ring them and see what's going on!! I know she told me that she doesn't want me to be on my period and as I started 1 week early this month it's messed the cycle up so I could be due around the date of the op so I might have to change it 😩

Thank you ❤️❤️

What op are you having ? Are you having endo investigated? Being on makes it easier to see. 💗🤗😘

in reply to AllWeNeedIsluv

Yes being investigated, yeah that's what I thought but she said if I'm on my period I can't be heavy! But I know I won't be heavy if anything it will be the spotting beforehand xxx

Are they doing a hsg too? As long as your not heavy I imagine you should be fine. Xxx

in reply to AllWeNeedIsluv

Yeah they are, what does that do? xxx

Check your uterus and tubes that's maybe why she doesn't want you to be on heavy 💗🤗😘
