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:

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
