I am both excited and nervous!!! Who else had a report time so early? I am not a early morning person either lol guess I'm going to be now

My surgery was at 8am. I had to be at the hospital at 5am. Checked in. Taken to the surgery prep room, Put in my little section, given gown to change into, and wipes to wipe down my entire body really good, Put the IV in my arm waited a while, Then a nurse came and put some gooey crap in my nose, Taken to the surgery main floor where i waited some more, Then the anesthesiologist came in and asked a bunch of questions, let me know how he was going to put me to sleep, Then surgeon came to go over it and rolled into a surgery room where they were playing loud rock music which was awesome and then i woke up after surgery.

Mine was originally scheduled for 6am, but now I have to arrive at the hospital at 9:35 surgery is scheduled for 11:05

I had to be at the hospital at 5:00am for a 7:00am surgery. I dressed in slippers, sweat pants, t-shirt, and my robe which is what I wore home three days later. After I got there I signed a couple forms, then they set up the IVs, gave me some happy drugs, and I waited for surgery by going to sleep. They woke me up and told me my surgery got changed to 9:00am. I went back to sleep.

Finally at about 8:50 my surgeon came to talk to me and to make sure I wanted to continue. His last words were "You know you can die in surgery?" "Yep." They took me into surgery, about 6 people moved me to the operating table, and they put me to sleep.

Of course everything went swimmingly. It wouldn't be until my abdominoplasty 3 years later that I would die.

Good luck,

Tek
