Pre-OP and surgery waiting times

[Lozlvztal]

Hi

I have suspected endo and have just recieved a letter to say I have my pre-OP appointment next week for a laraposcopy.

Could anyone tell me what happens during the pre-op please and what questions I should be asking?

I am aware that all hospitals are different, but roughly how long have people waited for surgery following their pre-op?

Thanks x

I just had to fill out a pre op assessment online, but I had to do that on Saturday and my Op is scheduled for 12th August. I actually got a text informing me my covid and MRSA swabs were the 9th August had no idea why and then 2 days later got the letter giving me my procedure date and then a further letter with the pre op assessment bits. Hopefully you shouldn't have more than 6 weeks after your pre op!!

Thank you. Sounds like your hospital is working different to mine. I havent recieved a date for my laraposcopy yet but was told in a consultation that I should get told on the day of my pre-op, so I'm hoping it wont be too much of a wait.

I hope yours goes ok x
