I'm always scared to be put under, I think that's fairly normal. It's a weird experience though, not quite like taking a nap for me because it feels like no time passes at all. It's like you blink and it's over. Youll be fine.

Yes I am but felt better when I was told you only lose 1 tablespoon of blood.

I am, but mostly because I've never been under.

I was very scared... not just about going under but about everything involved with the surgery. It all worked out for me. Stay strong. There cannot be bravery without fear.

I was terrified, but it was really very simple. Once they gave me the stuff, I was out in 30 seconds, and next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery. Now, I felt like hell, but the "being under" part wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.

You can always tell them how anxious you are and see if they'll give you a dose of xanax or valium. They usually do once your IV is in, but they may also call one in for you. Just make sure you don't drive.

And like stated above, you'll be out and the next thing you'll remember is being in your room.

The Sleeve was my first surgery and I was terrified. But I was out before I even really knew it and was waking up. I felt like I had never even gone to sleep, like I blinked and I was waking up.

I was so scared my surgery was last week on the 10th.and they game me medication to relax me not even 5 seconds later it hit me. And all i remember is them asking me to move to the surgery table and i was out.

I was peteified. Never had general anesthesia before. I remember moving onto the operating table and the anesthesiologist asking if I was comfortable and then he told me to put the oxygen mask over my mouth and that was it.
