Terrified of anesthesia



Recommended Posts

Don't be been under many times and they know what they are doing if u have faith in your drs not reason to be scared.

Thanks a lot for the reassurance! :) Really appreciate it! I'm assuming you're already sleeved?

Great! Glad everything went well :) they plan to remove my gallbladder as well. They said that this would make the surgery longer. Any regrets? :) please say no - haha

I was SO scared of the anesthesia pre-op. I had never had any kind of surgery and never had been put under. They give you a sedative before they wheel you into the operating room and that sure made me not give a hoot =) Everything went well and I don't regret it a single bit. A ton of people get anesthesia every day and the vast majority have very few issues - I bet yours is gonna go great and you'll get to tell everyone what a relief it was once it's over. Good luck, it will be so worth it.

No regrets, I went in at 730 and woke up around 11. My doctor said on 45 on sleeve and 1hr and half on gallbladder. I am happy with my choice so far down 22.2 lbs and beside soreness in one spot I am healing well.

I have been under 4 times and it is a breeze. I am also in the medical field and gave seen it done hundreds of times so that helps. The problems with being under are very rare. We have several things in place just in case something does happen but I have been doing this 12 years and never seen anything worse than vomiting after waking up in the post op room from being under.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
