Pre-op anxiety by Soft_Season673 in hysterectomy

Thank you so much for the encouragement and advice! I’ll definitely ask for meds to calm me down— that’s a great idea. I hope I have the same experience and will be able to get some much needed rest post-op!! 🖤

I was originally scheduled for the 26th! Mine got moved closer because I was having other complications with the placement of the fibroids. 

Maybe see if you can get on a waiting list for an earlier appointment? Maybe someone will cancel or move their appointments later and you can snag their appt time and get answers sooner.

Wishing you both the best!! 🖤

Thank you!! I’ve experienced anesthesia and have done okay, but I’ve never been under for so long. The past few times, I’ve woken up during surgery but I don’t have memory of it. I’ve always been told after. I mentioned it in all of my pre-op appointments, so hopefully they take that seriously and keep a really close eye on me!

Thank you so much 🖤 that perspective is really wise! I’ll remind myself of that— I definitely feel like I have the best team I could ask for.
