What should I expect during my pre-op appointment before surgery?

Hi Monique, have trust in your health care team. They are professionals and are caring people, they will get you through this! I just had a lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy this past Thursday. My medical team were so kind and caring, it's a blessing.

Pre-op appointments typically involve reviewing your medical history, discussing the procedure, and completing necessary tests like blood work or imaging. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first pre-op visit - the medical team will walk you through everything step by step and answer any questions you have to help you feel more prepared for surgery.
