Nerves

[bellabeans 74]

Did anyone ever get so nervous before surgery that you had to be given something to calm your nerves?

I didn't. I've heard it from others though. It's usually not a biggie. The only thing I remember was lying down on the table and then waking up in a dark room thinking the surgery hadn't taken place yet. I was excited about the surgery and was anxious to get it done. I've heard other peopel have been given a valium but honestly it's not needed. More and more of sleeve surgeries are being done as outpatient.

Uh, yes! Perfectly normal for many. It's major surgery. Get a chill pill and it'll help!

My sleeve surgery is in 5 days and I am so nervous I can't sleep eat or anything I do my mind is only worrying about the operation.

It gives me chills because I keep analyzing over and over again.

I am so scared

Totally normal!!!! I told my cute anesthesiologist before getting wheeled back. He gave me something extra before bringing me into the OR. lol. Whatever it was it was a life saver and kept me from FREAKING out!
