    Oh, and if you tell them you are nervous, they will give you something. They will give you something anyway, but if you tell them, you'll get it sooner rather than right before you go in for surgery.

Ask them for a scope patch also - it prevents nausea. I didn't have any issues with feeling nauseous after surgery and I thank the patch for that! The anesthesiologist can get you the scope patch - just ask!

I agree this patch was a God send. I had no nausea after surgery at all.

I am waiting to leave for the hospital which is only 5 min away. No nerves. Actually having hard time believing it is upon me. Could use a cup of coffee though. There is a Starbucks on the way...

Good luck today kailie and aliekat55! :)

I agree about the patch! It's amazing! However, make sure you don't touch the patch then touch your eyes because I accidentally did and it caused my pupils to dilate for 3 days! Lol!
