December 6th Surgery Date - RNY

I have been great about not being nervous about the whole process, but now that the date is coming up, I am getting a little bit antsy and nervous.

What really has me thinking all day, is the breathing tube that is going to be left in my airway after I leave the OR. My Dr leaves the tube in for about an hour or so and makes sure all his patients are breathing OK on their own before removing it.

Can someone please tell me about their experience with this if they were left with their tube in.

Thanks

My surgery is Monday too.  I am trying to remain calm.

Good luck!

my surgery is that day too.  Best of luck to both you and Puff

IF the tube is left in, you will not be awake to know it.
