Was anyone given a sedative on the day of surgery to relax you. How did it make you feel?

I don't know if it was a sedative, but they did give me something to help relax me in my IV prior to going into the OR. I didn't have a care in the world. It was wonderful.

I was given something in my IV prior to leaving my pre-surgery room and then sedated once I was settled in in the OR.

I was nervous before my EGD last week and they gave me Versed in my IV...calmed me right down! I expect I'll get the same at surgery.

My anesthesiologist asked me if I was nervous as soon as I got on the operating table. I said yes and he said he would give me something to relax me and when he put whatever it was in my IV, I was so relaxed, I had no idea what they were doing to prep me. Best thing ever.

It made me feel like I was on cloud nine. Had no care in the world. Have no clue what it was, but I don’t remember anything after having it. Next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery. The same anesthesiologist came in and gave me more. After that they had me to my room and I walked in to the bed and fell asleep for another hour or so. Then I got up and walked the halls to relieve the gas pain.

Presurgically, I was offered a little Xanax because I have a history of anxiety. I wasn't feeling too anxious, so I passed.....but I love how Xanax takes the edge off. Good stuff, and if you're really fearful, it will help a great deal:)

Yes, in most places it's phase 1 of anesthesia and usually given as you leave pre op for the OR. In my case it made me a bit fuzzy, but that was it.

Dang they didnt give me anything and I had a stress Migraine surgery day. I was in a whole lot of hurt while doing all of the pre op stuff with them. Of course after surgery I had morphine that gave me stomach cramps and dry heaving until they figured out that was a no go. I am glad I had surgery but that was the actual worst day of my life. My sleeve was worth 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?

      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.
