What's the last thing you said to your surgeon just before your LB procedure?!

[TracyinKS 7]

I remember being in the or and right before they put the mask on me, I saw my doctor enter the room.. I yelled accross the room to him..

"Will you take a pic for me?"

He looked up and said "Yeah, I can do that"

The mask went on and that was it.........

The first thing he said to me was that he took a pic for me.

In recovery, DF was laughing when he asked... "Did YOU ASK FOR PICTURES???"

Later the doc asked me if I got them I said yes, and that they would be posted on Lapbandtalk within 24 hours........

The last thing my doctor said was "Don't worry, we'll take good care of you."

I was relaxed after that and out I went.

The last thing my doctor said to me was back in pre-op and he told me that he was going to "try" to do the surgery but wasn't going to gaurentee anything.

OH MY GOODNESS...that is insane!! What kind of bedside manner is THAT??? I would have been freaking out and needed a double-dose of anesthesia!!!!!! Is it possible he was trying to be funny???

I have no idea the circumstances of StrawberryGrl but for those that haven't done the pre op diet, didn't follow instructions, etc., and their liver is slimey and full of fat, they might not be able to do it.

I'd rather the doc was honest with me than to wake up and discover there is no band.

I don't remember what I said, but the anesthesiolgist told me they would take good care of me.

First thing I said was "How's my hair?". A first for the docs. LOL!!

I cried and said Thank you,, and he said dont thank me, I have the easy part you have to do all the work.. winked and off i went..

My doc came in, I was first on his list for the day and I'd been prepped. He said how do you feel and I said "f.ck..g terrified". The next thing I said to him when he came in the next morning to see me before I went home was "I'm starving".

Vegaswildflower,

I like your little girl eating and exercising! Cool choice......

My surgery is less than 33 hrs away now........I can see myself saying something like you did to your surgeon.

I was out before I even got into the OR. In recovery, the nurse told me I told her all about the cruise I took in October and I also told her my sister is crazy. I don't remember one word of it!

Because my surgeon had an emergency earlier in the day everything was delayed. I didn't go into surgery until 6:30pm. I was concerned about his energy level... did he have dinner, did he have time to rest... told him I didn't want a shaky, cranky doctor working on me... he laughed and reassured me he was rested and full. Everything turned out fine - I'm so grateful.

I don't remember the last thing I said when I went into surgery but the first thing I did when i was awake was run my hands up and down my body and say "Holy sh*t I am f--king alive"

[Chris_NJ 9]

I said " Don't let me F%$^*ng die " :nervous

the last thing I said was "don't mess up my eyelashes"

I have eyelash extensions and they tape your eyes shut during surgery. I had talked with the nurse anesthesist regarding putting gauze over my eyes prior to taping them They all laughed at me but my lashes were still all there when I woke up!

I don't remember going into the OR at all. I was in the holding area and the anesthesiologist visited with me while we waited for my doctor to come through. After he came in and we spoke (a good conversation, positive about the surgery. I was his first for the morning). Then the anesthesiologist gave me the meds that 'relax' you...well...apparantly they were exactly what I needed/wanted at the time. The next thing I remember was waking up very groggy in my recovery room with it all over. The surgery went well - I am glad I went to sleep early. I slept horribly at home the night before ~ I was full of nervous evergy and needed to rest!
