I think there are three of us so far with surgery on the 12th. It's right around the corner. I just want it to be done already. Like wake up and done. I am ready and not worried or nervous about the surgery itself. My issue is that gas mask that they use to put you under. I don't like it. I wish they can just knock me out intravenously. I am definitely asking for that. My last surgery not gastric related, put that gas mask on me and it gave me anxiety till I knocked out. Not fun.

You want propofol. . You won't feel or remember a single thing. It goes in your IV.

Omg, thanks a million. You know I will certainly bring that up at my pre op appointment. Oh Yes! I think that's what I got when I had my partial hysto and I had no problems what so ever. Even when they rolled me into that tiny table w that big white light. I also had another recent surgery and the anesthesiologist said he was giving me something called a tight light cocktail and I was in and out no big deal. The last surgery was the one that I went in w anxiety and when I woke up I had it too. Worse was they didn't let me get up from that bed. But anyway, you're the best for putting my mind at ease. I appreciate the time you took w responding to me.

Just talk to your gas passer prior to surgery and let them know of your anxiety about the mask. They'll make you comfortable as they don't want someone uneasy about the process.

Good to hear. How are you feeling and congrats on your successful surgery. I will definitely let them know I am claustrophobic with the mask too. That's the best way to describe what happened to me the last time.
