fluffy22 39 Posted May 12, 2016 I was terrified also, just had mine done a few weeks ago. The worst part was the waiting! Honestly it was no big deal at all, like a nice nap. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

castout 19 Posted May 14, 2016 Had mine yesterday...piece of cake. Anesthesia is the best sleep I've had. And it goes fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katanne 215 Posted May 15, 2016 I had mine last week and was completely knocked out under general. It went by like a breeze. One minute I was chatting with the nurses in the OR while they prepped me, the next minute (or so it seemed) I was waking up in recovery and feeling great.

Tayfusion304 39 Posted May 17, 2016 I had mine done this morning. I remember being prepped and answering a ton of questions, meeting with the Dr and the anesthesiologist, being rolled into the procedure area, talking to the Nurses, feeling VERY sleepy and then waking up in the recovery room. I felt NOTHING.. Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
