Good luck to you also. Do you have to do a liquid diet? I am starting my on 9/3 and I am ready for it.

Yeah my official day to start my liquid diet is on the 3rd but i am starting tomorrow because I want to get the 2 torture days out of the way.

That's so exciting! I felt that way too on Tuesday when I found out. I'm starting to freak myself out now though about the surgery

I don't know if anyone can help me . It's nothing to do with the after part. Not worried a bit about that. I'm just a apaz when it comes to hospitals and the moment I walk in I turn into a toddler and start telling myself and everyone who will listen that I don't need to do what I'm there for. I tried talking the doctor out of taking the pitossin (sp?) out of my IV and I would "promise to come back tomorrow". I suppose what's underlying it all

Is the fear of not waking up. I HATE needles and so that scares me. They will give me versed- but not until I'm able to answer their questions which always takes forever. AND they never believe me when I tell them that they will need to give me 3-4 hits of that stuff for me to tell its in and actually relax me. They always giggle and tell me I won't remember. I think my body fights it so much. I believe they gave me 4 hits of versed last time and I still remember the OR and the conversation and the music (nirvana) the doctor had on until I was out. ***sigh***
