I'm always scared to be put under, I think that's fairly normal. It's a weird experience though, not quite like taking a nap for me because it feels like no time passes at all. It's like you blink and it's over. Youll be fine.

I am, but mostly because I've never been under.

I was terrified, but it was really very simple. Once they gave me the stuff, I was out in 30 seconds, and next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery. Now, I felt like hell, but the "being under" part wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.

You can always tell them how anxious you are and see if they'll give you a dose of xanax or valium. They usually do once your IV is in, but they may also call one in for you. Just make sure you don't drive.

And like stated above, you'll be out and the next thing you'll remember is being in your room.

The Sleeve was my first surgery and I was terrified. But I was out before I even really knew it and was waking up. I felt like I had never even gone to sleep, like I blinked and I was waking up.

I was so scared my surgery was last week on the 10th.and they game me medication to relax me not even 5 seconds later it hit me. And all i remember is them asking me to move to the surgery table and i was out.

I was peteified. Never had general anesthesia before. I remember moving onto the operating table and the anesthesiologist asking if I was comfortable and then he told me to put the oxygen mask over my mouth and that was it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
