I am having mine done tomorrow also, I have to be there at 7am. As far as I know they don't give you anything to calm your nerves. Just remember that when you go in they will give you medicine to go to sleep, take deep breathes until they start the medicines to keep calm. This a wonderful and exciting journey we all are on and there is so much support here. Will keep you in my prayers.

Yes, they will give you medication via your IV to relax you as you wait for the staff to complete all of the pre op procedures. They do make an effort to ensure you are comfortable and calm.

I only took one item to the hospital with me...that was a Chapstick, and I was thankful I had it, as my lips got terribly dry.

The staff at the hospital where my surgery was done made certain that I was aware and understood everything they were doing. I don't recall them giving me the anesthesia, and then the next thing I remembered was waking up in the recovery room with my husband at my bed side.

Best wishes for a good surgery experience and an uncomplicated recovery!

Thank you, I'm really hoping that my hospital does this. I am known or having strong and all of a sudden panic attacks :/ so fingers crossed!
