So - the tests they do at the pre-op ( take blood, urine test, height and weight, blood pressure, etc) - will they do them again the day of the op?

I also had ECG and pre-op swabs to detect MRSA bugs, failure (unlikely) would mean a course of antibiotics to clear the bugs before the operation could take place.
The nurse doing the blood testing was very quick as she does almost nothing else all day long, and had the red stuff flowing in a second or so. No pain at all.
Rules said that mine had to be re-type checked within 7 days of the operation, to make sure they have the right type ready in the unlikely event that you need a transfusion.
