I'm feeling a bit nervous because I've never been under general anaesthesia before but I'm very excited to finally take this step!

    Congratulations. I am sure you will fine. I have been put under many times and I am still ticking away. Have you shared that info with the doctor? They like to know your concerns etc.

That is most ppls fears, having never had surgery before, but let me ease your concerns. I have be put out more time than I can remember and its the best part of any procedure. One minute you're there, then your gone and it seems like a minute and you're back again.

Just remember, the Drs and anesthesiologist are professionals, they're there to keep you alive and well. You are well monitored for any signs of distress and taken care of.

You'll do great! Keep your eye's on the prize and don't allow yourself to think of "what if's".
