Before Surgery

Consultation

Yes. Before booking total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction, arrange a consultation with a Upper gastrointestinal surgeon. Use that visit to confirm whether the procedure fits your condition, what approach and anaesthesia are being considered, and what recovery is realistic for you.

Assessment and tests

Before total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction, you may be asked to complete or provide the following: blood count, kidney/electrolyte tests, liver tests when relevant, coagulation profile for major surgery, blood group/screen where bleeding is possible, and the imaging or endoscopy used to confirm the diagnosis.

Fasting guidance

If sedation or anaesthesia is planned for total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction, follow the fasting time given by your hospital. Do not guess the cut-off time: instructions can differ for solid food, clear fluids, children, diabetes, and emergency procedures.
