Answer: Pre op testing Pre operative testing requirements vary by surgeon and also by the patient's medical history. All women of child bearing age undergo a pregnancy test prior to surgery. Other than that, it will be at the surgeon's discretion. I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about her/his requirements.

Answer: Testing There is no "legal" requirement for preoperative testing, but most surgeons and many facilities do require at least a complete blood count, some add a PT to see how your clotting ability is, some add HIV and COVID testing, and other tests may be added based on age and medication. At certain ages, EKG's are required by most facilities and surgeons as well. If you have concerns about preoperative testing, please discuss this with your surgeon.
