I agree with Bob the waiting was the worst part. I said the Lord's prayer
while I was being rolled into the surgery suite. After that they gave me
the mask and I was OUT!

Wow, my dr. had the gas man give me something in the holding area - I never
even saw the inside of the OR. Please let them know you are anxious, but
determined tohave the surgery, and ask if they can give you something
before hand to help calm your nerves. Good Luck!

I had 3 shots of something wonderful between the waiting area and the OR.
The technician who came and got me asked me a question and I just started
to cry and my husband and mom told her how nervous I was and out came the
needles. By the OR, I was laughing and joking with everyone around me!! I
wouldn't go thru all that waiting again for anything. I agree with the
other post's- make sure you tell them you are anxious and nervous. Good
Luck!

On the way to surgery, I said 'Could you give me something, I am a little
nervous?'. I remember talking to the anesthesiologist and doctor in the
holding area. I also remember the nurse asking the doctor what kind of
music he wanted. I actually don’t remember when they gave me
something to calm me down.

I almost left the hospital the day of my surgery also. I was so nervous,
but they did give me 3 shots of something (sorry I don't recall what the
name of the Rx was), but as with the other post-ers, I too was feeling
relaxed by the time they rolled me into the OR. If you want -- read my
profile. Good luck -- I understand your fear!!!!

I Was given a wonderful drug called VERSED. (Not quite sure of the spelling
on that) It is supposed to make you "forget" what happened. It
did not have the "forgetting" effect on me but I sure was relaxed
and happy.
I remember everything from pre op up until they positioned me on the table
and my "knock out doc" told me "nite nite". I would not
have changed my surgey day for anything.
Just make sure that you make it known that you want a litte extra something
to help you relax. The docs should be more than willing to help you out.

Wow, I'm surprised they just didn't give you something without your having
to ask. Honestly, I didn't even make it to the beginning of the hallway, I
was knocked out. I didn't indicate I was nervous either, they just gave me
something automatically. I sort of was curious to see what the operating
room looked like but I was glad to not have to worry on the way there. I
thought it was standard procedure.

I am surprised they would not give you something. I did not even have to
ask. Right after my IV was placed, they put some drug in, I am assuming it
was Versed, and the next thing I remember is waking up in the recovery. I
never even saw the the OR. Tanya RNY 1/5/04
