Waking Up In The O.r????



Recommended Posts

I had the best (not to mention cutest) anesthesiologist for lap band. I have had bad experiences during childbirth and for dental surgery where I have had delayed reactions to anestesia. After being awake for dental surgery I was knocked out cold on the way home. I voiced my concerns and so he said "so you want me to make sure you are really out before we start?" I said YES PLEASE! On the way to o.r. he asked how about a cocktail? I was woozy moving over to the table and bam....that was it. Next thing I knew I was in recovery with my sweet little nurse holding my hand!

Well it sounds like you have had several surgeries before and this was never an issue for you. Why would it be an issue now? Your surgery is only a few days away, Take a deep breath and relax. When you get to the hospital ask to speak to the anesthesiologist prior to your surgery regarding your concerns. Good luck.

Leave a roll of lifesavers and a bottle of Water in the car for the ride home. Surgery and recovery was a breeze except for the cottonmouth i had all day. Lifesavers and alot of water helped . Good luck ! Im so glad i did it !

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.

        I'm so sorry. I lost my pup (Mr. Bitters - a chocolate Pomeranian) 2 years ago and it still makes me tear up. He was my everything - my constant companion. I understand. Do the best you can to get back on track.
