Youll do great! I went in at 7 and did all the registration and pre op stuff (getting IV, gown, urine sample, etc etc). Last thing I remember was them saying it was my turn and that they were going to give me something to help me relax. I remember feeling calm and then waking up to someone calling my name. I always have a bad time coming off anesthesia so that sucked but isn't typical.

After that they took me to my room and loaded me up with pain meds and anti nausea. If I'm not sugar coating, the first day sucks (and that's any surgery in my experience). You're just going to feel crappy and out of it from anesthesia and pain meds. I also had to spend like 2 hours in the bathroom (asleep on the toilet for most of it, lol) trying to pee so they wouldn't insert a catheter. I finally did. The next day I was walking around and totally ready to go home. I'm 6 days post and still feeling pretty tired but I've been off pain killers and nausea meds completely for 3 days. The first 24 hours will be the hardest but for most people it's not that bad.

I thought I was the only one who was unable to pee. They kept doing ultrasounds telling me my bladder was full, but I had no urge to urinate. They almost had to cath me too. I'm so glad they didn't though.

I knew I had to go my body just wasn't awake and cooperating yet. At the time I was perfectly happy just to be asleep on the toilet so I sat there until it happened, lol. I was NOT getting a catheter.

I will do the same lol
