Im curious for how many this was their first surgery ever...and how you felt...

other than my wisdom teeth and a cyst on my finger this was my first "official in the hospital" surgery. I was taken well care of and didn't have a bad experience at all.

No regrets!

Well i had my wisdom taken out but thats it...and i was not 100% out...just curious how many where scarednin general...i work in the medical field andnhave worked in hospitals they dont scare me..not being in control does.

It was my first surgery of any kind. The closest I think I have come was stitches when I was a kid. The nurses during prep were a little concerned, as I looked pale when they were doing the IV and poking me all over the place with needles (why they don't feed all that through the IV?). I really had no idea what all was going on. They finally wheeled me in the "back" and knocked me out. Woke up and everything was OK; albeit in some pain. OK a lot of pain...

ok see thats an honest answer...everyone keeps telling me i should not be afriad blah blah...ITS SURGERY...i never have even had stitches!! THANK YOU for that...i just want to see that I am not the only one.

In hind sight there really wasn't anything to be scared of... Go to a reputable surgeon and you will be OK!

The first few days are rough I will not lie about that, but it is so worth it. I am a little over a month and feel pretty close to normal outside of eating in tiny amounts (which is the purpose). I am down 50 pounds since 12/13 and not looking back!

Congrats!!! Awesome ty guys keep it coming j feel better as i talk to u all

It was my first surgery also. I was not really scared, because I didn't really think it was going to happen, so I was a little shocked when I woke up in pain in the recovery room.

Apparently I did not react so nice to the anesthesia so they kept me in the hospital an extra day, as a precaution. No biggie, I was so out of it I didn't care. You will do fine. Also, remember to walk, it does help alot to get your energy back.

This was my 7th surgery that was done in an OR and involved anesthesia.

Ankle, knees, hernias, etc were all done prior.

The sleeve surgery was an absolute piece of cake. Nothing to it.

Good to know!

Yes it was my first and I was crazy nervous.

I was also in a lot of pain afterwards but taken well care of

Yes, it was my first surgery ever so I had no idea what it would be like.

It turned out great. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Aside from having my wisdom teeth removed, this was my first surgery. I was scared but handled it well.

This will be my 5th surgery in an or with a surgeon the first 4 were easy peasy

1st for me and I would put the pain chart right below giving birth. Although u don't feel the procedure, when I did come too I felt like I was hit by a mack truck. Thankful for drugs! But Hey don't take it from me I'm a big baby when it comes to pain
