Hello just wondering if anyone knows at what point do we go do our final blood work done? I had mine done before I seen the nurse but now I've completed all the appointments and I see the surgeon next week .... wondering if we are supposed to have it done before surgery

I had my final blood work done at my pre op appointment. Not sure if all centres are the same (I am through Guelph).

Good luck with your surgeon appointment.

Some centers do blood work just before to check your levels going in but also to ensure you don't smoke.
