I was just fine an hour ago, and now I'm getting myself all worked up.Can anyone tell me how was the anesthesia like? I think that is the only thing I'm getting nervous about.

You get to the surgery suite in the hospital, they will ask you a bunch of questions that you've already gone through a million times, you get a hospital gown and they start an IV line to give you medicine and keep you hydrated. You wait in a room with your family and chill a bit until they are ready to take you. Sometimes they give you medicine before you are transferred to OR and sometimes they give it to you when you get there. The medicine will make you feel pretty goofy and you'll fall asleep. Last time I had surgery, it felt like I blinked my eyes and was waking up. You'll feel groggy and maybe a little confused. You might wonder if you even had the surgery yet. There are nurses all around checking your vital signs and heart rate and rhythm on the monitor. They can give you pain and nausea medicine if you need it. When you are stable and when you are assigned a room you will be transferred. The worst feeling from anesthesia I ever felt was a sore throat or hoarse voice. It wasn't bad at all. Everyone's experience is different. I have my surgery tomorrow too, so good luck!

kkmommy and Heather- good luck to you both

kkmommy- Heather did a good job of explaining what happened to me...with the exception of having a hard time with the iv because I was so dehydrated from the bowel prep. It seemed like start to finish was just seconds but it was hours. You do well. See you on the losers bench.

My surgery is Friday!! Im not so nervous about the anesthesia part, only the surgery itself. Im having a lap band removal and the sleeve YIKES!!! Let me know how everything goes for you two! GOOD LUCK!

My surgery is Friday too! I am totally excited about it, but geesh I can't believe how much the injection to prevent blood clots costs. I guess it is all worth it

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!! KEEP ON MARCHING ON!!!! IT WILL BE OVER BEFORE YOU KNOW IT!! A SPEEDY RECOVERY TO YOU!!!
