jblgirl 10 Posted December 6, 2014 Hi! My surgery is tomorrow and I'm a bundle of nerves today. I'm worried about being put under. Can anyone help me with that? Just let me know how it goes, the process and such? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted December 6, 2014 Yay! Well as far as my case they wheeled me in the OR said Hi, then bam out! No warning no nothing just out and Back awake...simple as that. Odd kinda! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeagleLover 1,020 Posted December 6, 2014 Yeah, they just wheeled me into the operating room and told me to put my ars in a certain spot and don't even remember putting my head down. When I woke up, it was over... piece of cake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeagleLover 1,020 Posted December 6, 2014 No. Didn't know, didn't see... I was sleepin' Doubt if they would allow videos for legal reasons, I imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jblgirl 10 Posted December 6, 2014 So you didn't feel the tube being put in your throat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jblgirl 10 Posted December 6, 2014 And they won't allow pictures of any kind. My hubby got in trouble for taking pics of my csections lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jblgirl 10 Posted December 6, 2014 Was you husband(or whoever) allowed with you up until they wheeled you back? And did they give you anything before being sent back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeagleLover 1,020 Posted December 6, 2014 My husband was with me until they took me away for surgery. The IVs with the pain meds were in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jblgirl 10 Posted December 6, 2014 And do they put the tube in after you get into the OR? Sorry for so many questions. I'm already an over analyzer, have anxiety and now I'm just scared lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WL WARRIOR 692 Posted December 6, 2014 The last thing I remember before going out was the anesthesiologist. He said he was going to use the same medicine that Michael Jackson died of to put me out. Then I woke up in a state of confusion. I pulled the oxygen tubes from my nose and was trying to yank my IV out. It took me a minute to remember where I was and why.

wannaBthinsoon 1,634 Posted December 6, 2014 I've not had my WLS yet, but I have had more than my share of surgeries, and you are not awake when they insert the tube down your throat. That would be aweful! Just relax, and enjoy the nap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emsgirl114 88 Posted December 6, 2014 That was mine. All I remember was someone saying okay let's go. And then I saw my mom and son come into room and it was over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
