michpell39 399 Posted July 29, 2013 This was my experience , got to the clinic and they brought me to the pre op room had me change to a gown and sit in a chair with a warm blanket , the doctors came in and introduced themselves then the nurse brought me to the OR I got on the table they numbed my hand put in the IV which I did not feel next thing I knew I was in recovery 2 fearfefe and PrettyThick1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skb123 308 Posted July 29, 2013 For me, they took me into pre-op had me change into lovely hospital attire, and scrub my tummy with some wipes. They than hooked up a warming blanket and started and IV. Than a more papers to sign and the anesthesiologist came to visit, he even told me a couple jokes! Finely my surgeon came in along with her assistant and before you knew it off to the OR. I was in pre op about 2 & 1/2 hours before surgery. But it all went rather quickly. Once in the OR they put a mask over my face and the next thing I knew I was in recovery. Hope that puts you at ease. It all went smooth as can be. Only found out in pre op that my insurance required I spend he night. All was smooth and easy on my end. So glad I did this! Blessings to you for a perfect outcome! 3 dawalsh, PrettyThick1 and fearfefe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
