Pre Admission Tests Before Surgery

Fri, 11/15/2013 - 14:54
I finally finished all of my pre- operative tests for Epilepsy surgery and my surgery is scheduled for December 13th. I just have one question... For those of you who have went through Epilepsy surgery I would like to know what types of tests are involved in the pre admission tests before the surgery begins? Any comments would really help me. Thank you.

First of all, good luck. Before I was considered for surgery, I had the following tests. The WADA test, PET scan, neuropsychology test, and the MEG scan. And don't forget all the regular tests like the mri, ct, and etc.
