What to expect??

Good morning beautiful people!

I’m scheduled for surgery TOMORROW 8/28 with an arrival of 830. Im excited, nervous and scared. I know this may be a little crazy but can you all who have had the surgery tell what I should expect? From check in, to the preop area, to going into a operating room and then waking up afterwards. I’m scared I’m going to wake up and have an anxiety attack ??‍♀️??‍♀️. I know this is weird but I like to be prepared and it’s my first surgery so I’m a MESS!

    The gas pain is the worst of it. You wont want to, but get up and walk as soon as you can. Its the only thing that really helps. You will be surprised how quickly you recover.

And now we have joined the veterans as a source of wisdom for all the newbies, seems like a nice group so far. A lot of Novembers, and a fair crop of Decembers, and a few January 2019 popping up here and there!??

And has everything been what you expected when you signed that Consent For Surgery?
Did you realize it says in the Bible husbands should make their wives morning coffee? Yep it does; HEBREWS
