Do they give ya anything at the hospital if you get panicky? Because I tend to get panicky when Im nervous and I dont want to freek out before the surgery

My anesthesiologist offered me something when I was in surgery hold (I think it was valium), but I declined. As soon as he walked out, I had a brief moment of anxiety, but it quickly passed. If they do not offer it, you can always ask!

They gave me a shot of something, I can't remember the name of it though. Just tell them you need some happy meds. :thumbup:

As the other posters said, yes if you want it they'll give you something.

Yes, especially if you tell them that you have a tendency to get nervous. A lot of times they will give you Versed. My husband, who is a chicken when it comes to ANY type of medication, LOVES Versed LOL. He had unplanned hand surgery back in November, and before they took him to the OR, he was so tense and extremely nervous. The anesthesiologist came to visit with him and we told him that my hubby was extremely nervous, so he whipped out his syringe and gave it to him in his IV. I watched for about 20 or 30 seconds or so and when it hit him, my husband's face just completely relaxed and he started smiling and said, "okay, I'm ready to go." LOL

So, yes, if you tell them you get nervous, they will give you something. Good luck to you!!

Hi Sweetie! It's Erykah, I just wanted to ask you a few questions, what is the psych thing for? What do they do? After the seminar, what happens then? How long after the seminar can you schedule the surgery? Thanks for being there for me.
