Maggie, the preop class is a class that prepares you

for your arrival, hospital stay and departure from the

hospital. You will be given this spiral breathing

aparatus(spelling) and they will show you how to use

it post surgery. This helps get the anestesiology out

of your body.

You will learn about the time frame to call about

reporting to the hospital. I think the window is

1:00-3:30 or something very close to it. They will

discuss again the importance of having and taking the

vitamins.

They will make sure that your advance care directive

is filled out and turned in and to answer any quetions

you might have.

They will talk about the diet phases again and show

you the actual size of the containers of food you will

be able to eat. Very informative meeting. It is

classroom style and will last about 2 hours.

This info is in regards to what KP Richmond does. I

am not sure what Fremont or SF does but I hope this

helps.

One More thing. If you are going through KP Richmond,

they weigh you...at EVERY apt/meeting and the day of

your surgery so please be mindful of that.

There are orientations and then regular monthly pre op meetings. They

are basically meetings to support you through the 10% loss requirement

and make sure you are really ready for the surgery. They talk about

issues you are dealing with and give advice. Ive spoken at a few of

them in the past.
