Getting my gallbladder removed! Very scared to be put under.
Posted , 7 users are following.
So I'm getting my gallbladder out in a week. I'm only 19 and this is the first time ever being put under. I'm very scared that I won't wake up and that something is going to go wrong in surgery. I just want to know what everyone's experience was and how they got over being scared? They're using the robot on me. So I'm very very scared. Please help.

They gave me something to relax me before they wheeled me back into the OR. But everything went pretty smooth and everyone was amazing from the lady that registered to me to the discharge nurse the next morning. Everyone made me feel comfortable and relaxed the whole time and answered any questions I had. I also kept my mind off of what was going on by watching tv. The nurses and doctors were all very courteous and my pre op room never had more than one nurse/doctor in it at a time. I was pretty relaxed by the time I got into the or and they put me on the table and put a sedative in my Iv and put the mask over my nose and mouth and next thing I know, I was in recovery.
Just remember to stay calm, maybe take a book to read in pre op, and tell your nurses if you are starting to get worried or scared. They have probably seen thousands of people like you, who have never been under and are scared.
Good luck and hope you have a quick recovery.
