      I was told there'd be blood test, an ecg or something like that and a few other things.

        First of all, call and get your surgery date. I wouldn't want to approach this blind...you need to arrange for help at home when you go through this. So, knowing your date is really important.

        I believe (mine is different as I've already had a lot of these tests) preop is blood test, bone density test and EKG. Hope this helps, and good luck!
