During the time after heck in before being wheeled way to surgery question.

You'll be OK But I would suggest that if you're feeling a little anxious ask for your "cocktail" once the IV is in. Don't let them guess if you need it.

I was fine...OK...so I did contemplate changing my mind, I think everyone does. But once it was time to go to the OR, and my husband said "I love you", I could feel myself getting emotional. The anesthesiologist popped over to my IV and gave me something. I relaxed immediately.

I don't know why I didn't get something earlier. I guess they thought I was calm, cool, and collected, ha!

Even with the relaxing meds in pre-op that they gave me (which we amazing btw) I still started crying when they wheeled me away. Then I got to the operating room and had a full blown panic attack. It was really scary for me, I can't deny that. But this all happened in a span of like 4 minutes tops, if that. As soon as they saw that I was really freaking out they went ahead and gave me the anesthesia.
