Hi hope someone is able to answer my question please, I'm from the UK and due to have my gullbladder removed, my pre assessment is on the 18th October, I have a big fear of gas masks and the smell of the gas, to the point I have a panic attack as soon as I see the mask, have I got the option to state I don't want it? I'm willing to have as many injections as they need to give me just can't be having gas, it's already playing on my mind and I'm feeling very anxious, thanks in advance

    I thought they would put me to sleep with a mask but times have changed.  Its all in the injection now.

    Mask is a thing of the past.
