I just had a lap done in June and I did not have a physical. In fact my husband came along with me to the Pre-Op. I would definetely call the doctors office to comfirm if your daughter should attend but I don't see why. Yes, you will be told about the surgery and what you should do the day before and day of the surgery. You will told about going being put to sleep. The Pre-Op is harmless. So, I would not get all worked up about. Grant it, every doctor is different but with my experience and other women I have talk to, it was the easy part. At Tue, 26 Sep 2006, Sabrina wrote: >
