My anesthesiologist offered me something when I was in surgery hold (I think it was valium), but I declined. As soon as he walked out, I had a brief moment of anxiety, but it quickly passed. If they do not offer it, you can always ask!

They gave me a shot of something, I can't remember the name of it though. Just tell them you need some happy meds. :thumbup:

Yes, especially if you tell them that you have a tendency to get nervous. A lot of times they will give you Versed. My husband, who is a chicken when it comes to ANY type of medication, LOVES Versed LOL. He had unplanned hand surgery back in November, and before they took him to the OR, he was so tense and extremely nervous. The anesthesiologist came to visit with him and we told him that my hubby was extremely nervous, so he whipped out his syringe and gave it to him in his IV. I watched for about 20 or 30 seconds or so and when it hit him, my husband's face just completely relaxed and he started smiling and said, "okay, I'm ready to go." LOL

So, yes, if you tell them you get nervous, they will give you something. Good luck to you!!

Hi Sweetie! It's Erykah, I just wanted to ask you a few questions, what is the psych thing for? What do they do? After the seminar, what happens then? How long after the seminar can you schedule the surgery? Thanks for being there for me.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
