Tomorrow-- Now I'm nervous

OK, tomorrow is my "band" day,, now I am getting nervous..

Not about getting the band, but I really freak out with the IV- getting it put in..

Any time I have needed one they can never get it on the first try and they usually have to have an actual IV nurse do it.. And many times my veins have so called Collapsed and they had to do another one or didnt realize that it had done it and I get a big egg of Water and bruising....

Once I check in to the Hospital I wont get to have my Fiance with me until just before I go back for surgery, and they want you there several hours before.. They say that him back there violates the Privacy laws.. I say BS,,,lol since all of us having surgery are in the same area, then we would be violating each ones privacy...

So any way its not the surgery its the IV and the anesthesia that scare me,,,,

I always wake up very combative and Throwing up bile etc...Each time I have told the anesthesiologist this they say that it is usually kids that wake up violent and that I have probably outgrown it,,, NOT,,,, and also the stuff they give so you dont get sick,,,, doesnt work.... I dont wanna be sick... :>(

OK, there, I whined,, now I feel better,,, OK, not really,,,,

Just want-need your encouragement please......
