Scared

I bought my significant other to st. Luke's hospital at 5:30am to be sleeved. Surgery was scheduled for 7:30am and she was wheeled in like 7:15 or so. The doctor said the surgery would take 2-3 hours.

I just got to see her. The look on her face made my stomach sink. She was in so much pain. Like tons. I feel so bad! As she was waking up from anesthesia she had an allergic reaction to the narcotics and they had to give another med to reverse the one that she was allergic to. So she felt everything as she was waking up.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? I feel really really horrible. She was crying before surgery and I told her everything will be ok. It's a breeze based on what I read on here. I haven't had my surgery yet but plan on doing so next month and I'm scared, like really scared.

Plus she said her Chest felt right and gas pains are really bad. I'm feel like I'm going to throw up thinking about how she must feel.

Did anyone have any similar experiences? How'd you make out. I really need to here from post-op people right now.
