Surgery in 2 days... nervous :/
michpell39 replied to girlgetsLB's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am always nervous about being put out , my doctor joked and said they don't pay him to put me to sleep they pay him to wake me up lol, didn't stop me from sobbing in the table as they were prepping me , you will be ok deep breaths you'll be done in a wink , best of luck -
