Jitters, in need of positive words

[Hazel_eyez 173]

Reading the positive words from here, looking at before and after pictures, and remembering that gall bladder and knee surgery has more complications and I know several people who had knee surgery.

I can tell you just remain positive. You don't want to go under anesthesia with bad thoughts. So I started to make jokes.

The anesthesiologist will give you plenty of meds to relax you and you will never know you are "going under." I remember getting ready to leave the pre-op area then the next thing I remember is waking up in recovery. Try not to worry

yes I don't even remember going under I remember going into the operating room them say we're gunna give u something to relax u and then waking up in recovery lol. As soon as I woke up I asked to walk they said I had to be moved to my room before I could walk so they moved me to a room right away when they said are u ready to get into ur bed(from the stretcher) I said no I'm ready to take a walk. They were shocked. I was called the role model patient. I didn't sleep at all not even thru the night I just kept walking. I've never been away from my kids so I couldn't sleep without them. I was supposed to be there two days I went home the next day bc I was doing so well. It went so much better then I assumed I had gastric bypass.
