HI
this was my first surgery too, I had never been under anesthesia. the night before I meet the anestheolgist and he helped me feel a little better, but that night and the one prior I didn't sleep a wink. I am doing great, by the time you go in they give you lots of drugs in the IV and you won't care what they do , I wasn't even asked to count down from 10 the Dr put the mask on my face and said "I'm just going to put this here while I get redy. " then I woke up and it was over. My mom and I laughed at how he tricked me, I never realized he gassed me.
trust mem it's worth it I lost 13 lbs on that rotten pre op diet and 12 more post op.
