Dont be scared ! You'll do great. The anesthesiologist will come to talk to you before surgery and you can ask any questions. They are usually very good about calming people's fears since it is very common to be afraid. And dot worry , they will give you some tranquilizing drugs before you even get to the operating room to calm you down ... You won't be scared by the time the moment comes to actually put you under anymore :)

Thank you. I really hope I'm just chill and ready to go but I already know myself when I had a c section with my son almost 2 yrs ago I freaked out..I couldn't even talk I felt like someone was on top of me( and that was just when they told me he had to be delivered via csec)

I was also very scared to go under and dreaded it up until the day of surgery. I had an emergency csection about 5 years ago and it freaked me out. So I asked online here what was worse, csection or this surgery. 99% said a csection was worse so I figured I made it through that, I can make it through this. I met with the anesthesiologis and my surgeon and I was completely calm then. I think trying to go into it with a positive attitude really helped as well. I think back now about all the energy I spent on worrying about the surgery and I can only smile and kinda laugh at myself. You can do this. :)

Yea you're right my csec was an emergency as well I think that's why I freaked out.

I was scared as heck too. Usually the anesthesiologist comes and asks if you have any questions and that's a good time to tell them you're worried, they are good at handling it. They gave me a sedative as they were wheeling me into the surgery room, so I was much calmer, able to get myself on the table and the second they put the mask on me I either fell asleep or at least got to a point that I don't remember. Woke up in recovery room feeling very foggy, but fine. It's scary but you'll come through on the other side and not remember a thing =)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
