I have been put out so many times and I must say, I enjoy it.lol

One minute you're there and the next your waking up in recovery. Like a blink of an eye!

Being scared, nervous and crying is also normal. You wouldn't be human, if you weren't a little nervous.

Good news is, the Drs and nurses are professionals and they take pride in keeping you alive.

Now try and relax and think of the new and improved you.

Its going to be awesome!

I felt the same way. Had a panic attack 20 mins before surgery and had to reschedule. When I did have the procedure, I was so angry with myself for getting worked up over nothing. Just stay calm relax, keep thinking about being on the other side. Pray to the god you serve and allow him to move mountains for you. It will be like having the best nap ever!!!!!!!

Awwww, sweetie, I know this can be a scary thing if you've never been put down before. I was actually scared because I WASN'T scared (I never am when going under) Focus on how your life is going to change for the better, and if you're a believer, have faith, The Lord will see you through! We will all be here waiting to hear about your experience. Be blessed and be still.

Well at first when I was getting prepped, about 10-15 minutes before surgery they gave me a "happy shot". Whatever it was, made me super relaxed similar to laughing gas, without all the laughing lol. I felt like I was floating, I barely remember being wheeled into the OR, and the next thing you know I woke up sitting up in a comfy chair with my dress on, under a blanket, with my Mom sitting there with me. You'll be fine!

Girl you have nothing to worry about. I've had surgery a few times and the best part of it is being put to sleep! La-la land is no place to fear, at all...I like it. LOL It's easy to see how Michael Jackson became addicted to it, seriously.

Now, happy thoughts...enjoy the process because when you get home and the hospital drugs wear off, you'll wish you had more. LOL

I've never had surgery before so I'm pretty scared. I guess you have to meditate before you go. Take deep breaths. Hope I don't have a panic attack

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
