cry on your way down to theatre?
The reason im asking is coz i knw if im lucky enough to be givin the surgery i knw my nerves will get the better of me they did when i had to have op pn my boob for the removel of an abcess i was in floods coz i was so scared and whe they put the heart monitor on me it made me worse coz you could hear it beating faster coz i was so scared lol i really am goin to have to try my best not to cry otherwise they might not give me op might they?:cry:

Dont worry, I think almost everyone gets emotional on the way in or whilst in theatre. I shed a few tears, they were a mixture of OMG what am I doing and being so happy that I was actually getting it done - if that makes sense lol!

 

[pinkylin]

yes it does make sense i think this is how i will feel to i just want to get it done and hurry up and lose weight but at the same time im so scared that i dont want anythn to go wrong.x

 

[Mazza]

You will be fine when its your turn x

 

[pinkylin]

tar hun i hope so.x

 

[indianlight]

I was exactly the same as Mazza, tears of relief and fear, but once the i realised this is actually happening i was ok. The theatre team at my hospital say not many people are upset when going to theatre if they are having WLS, but the tears come anyway... good luck hun and don't worry...xxx

 

[pinkylin]

thanx hun i will try lol.x

The only time I got emotional is when I went down in the lift there was a nurse, my mum and I.

The lift doors opened either side, me and the nurse went one way and my mum went the other. That was tough!!

 

[serenitylove]

i never cried on way to banding but when i had an op a few months ago to remoa mole i layed on the op table and was hysterically crying still cant figure out why lol the staff are used to it tho and were great i think it just a build up of nerves

 

[pinkylin]

yeh ive done that when i had me abcess removed my hubby came down to theatre then left and i got on op table was a bag of nerves and the next min the anethetis who was standin behind me put a big blck mask oer my face i panicked and threw it of me lol bet he wanted to smack me one lol but he should of told me what he was doin i thought t was gas to put u out but it was only oxegen i laugh about it now but at the time it set my heart racing so at least this time i knw its an oxegen mask and nothin else so hopefully i will be ok i hope lin.x

 

[gaelic girl]

I wouldn't worry at all the staff are trained to deal with upset patients anyway and the know only too well how the enormity of what you are about to do can hit at the last minute. The only time i got emotional was when i felt they were taking ages to put me under x

 

[teen]

I didnt cry on the way to the op but I didnt cry myself to sleep the night before when Pete left the hospital

 

[pinkylin]

i wont be goin into hosp the night b4 you go in on the day where im goin i think so i will prob be doin the same at home i think all my family will be very emotional that night lin.x

 

[mandyl]

aww hun dont worry.
when i was in last week i cried with a lady who was scared to leave her hubby. i then cried when i was worrying about my cat. then when poor lady next to me died. and then when mr slater said he couldnt find me a bed he looked terrible and i thought back tears. and if thats not enough i went for a walk just as dr came and said to staff mrs lenn can eat and drink,god i just burst into tears poor bloke. so im sure tears are just fine xxxx

 

[Janeywanttoloosealot]

You know i must be the exception i was scared but more scared they would cancel my operation. I was really happy to go down to theatre i am not saying i was'nt scared but i think i had excepted to myself whatever happens happens.

 

[thinkbethin]

No I did'nt cry, I was just thinking "lets get this over and done with". I was'nt nervous either like I thought I'd bexx

 

[pinkylin]

ahhhhhhhhhh thanx girls its gud to get other peeps views on it all i think knwin me i will be fightin bk tears but i will let you all knw when i have op if ther wer tears lol

 

[phatmomma]

I don't think i'll cry. Knowing me i'll probably skip down to theatre i'll be that darn excited... And you ain't seen nothing till you seen a 300lb woman skipping....god i hope people don't see me bum..........

 

[Big an Bouncy]

Ive had so many ops and procedures now it does not bother me,but I do get worked up if they cant find a bloomin vein and keep prodding.But thats just me got very skinny veins!Bloody ironic really,about the only skinny thing on me!

 

[miss jelly tot]

Bless, Im not in your position re your diet options but wanted to said that when I had a nose operation 3 years ago I sobbed. :cry:They even had to give me a pre med to calm me down. I was just so scared I wasn't going to wake up. All the staff were lovely and am sure your staff will be too. They must see this every day.

Good luck for your operation I hope everything goes well
