Emotions are getting wacky...
Ok so I'm wondering if this is going to get worse before it gets better. My surgery date is 9/7, Friday 8/11 I had an EGD. I've NEVER had any significant surgery (only orthroscopy on my right knee at age 16). I was so upset I could not stop crying when they wheeled me into the procedure room. I felt so dumb, but I just couldn't stop it. I mean the EGD, while they put you in "concious sedation" is really not a big procedure. What am I going to do when the surgery day comes. Anyhow, just wondering were you all like this? Were you all crying being wheeled into surgery? I feel like such a wuss...I hope I can get my hands on this before surgery... it's not so far away anymore!!

Renee;
Was the crying a result of fear? I don't know how spiritual you are, but I prayed a lot in the days leading up to my surgery. I didn't cry going into surgery, but I did pray that the bright light in the OR wasn't the last thing I saw on earth. If it's anxiety that's causing the emotion, you may want talk to your doctore about a mild anti-anxiety med for the coming weeks.

I also prayed alot. and made the surgeon promise that I would come out alive and well. But seriously I think if you ask they have something they can give you to sort of help you relax. I did have tears the day of surgery but everything turned out ok and if you do cry thats ok so dont worry just consentrate on getting healthy take care and best of luck to you.
It was a very emotional time for me as well. I went camping w/ family and friends the weekend before the surgery. There were times when I just had to step away and one night ended up in tears just b/c I felt like everyone was having a good time and no one noticed how overwhelmed I was getting. In the back of my mind I was wondering if this would be my last camping trip, what would camping be like after surgery, would I ever eat a hot dog again....LOL. It was irrational thinking but at the time it was what I was thinking. I made it through w/o medications and the constant support of my loving hubby--he cried the day of surgery b/c he was so worried. When they wheeled me into the o.r. and introduced me to all the staff, I immediately asked for something to relax me. I woke up what seemed like moments later and I knew I would be fine and I was on my way......emotions are a normal way of life. Ask for help from the doc. w/ meds or from your supports. It was all soooooo worth it!!!
