Hi Lisa!
I dont go in until this Fri. 4/11. I did go in for pre-op today..Saw the nurses and anesthesiologist! I have to go under general anesthesia..and go to recovery room afterwards..Its considered day surgery. Theysaid it should take about 4 hrs total!!
The nurse was nice..She said her daughter was trying to conceive too. Shes 43! She told me well u have alot of time left..and i said thank u! then she said ohhhh your 38>>( guess I look a little younger than she thought i was).lol...then she said well...you still have time!! Im like yea dig yourself out of that one!! hahaha.. I laughed.. The nurses and crew were extemely nice there though! I know I am in good hands at least! Im just NERVOUS!! never been under with general anesthesia!!!!!!!!ive heard stories about being nauseous afterwards!! At least Ill have my hubby with me..(they said you need a "recovery buddy" to be with u for 24 hrs.. I said my husband will of course be there!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so jittery about it all! they are doing a hysteroscopy too(checking uterus)..I said do it all at once!!!! get it all over with!! hahaha....anyway.sorry to ramble...but thanks for thinking about me!! I will let u know how it goes!!!!!!!!

Hi Anne, just wanted to wish you lots of luck for this Friday!

Adding my good luck wishes for this Friday-

I didn't have any nausea from the anesthesia, but you can ask your dr to give you a rx for Phenergan just in case. I used it to help with the nausea I got from the strong antibiotics.

The one thing I do remember is that when I woke up I was FREEZING! They had about 5 blankets on top of me and then they brought several more. Also, I had a burning like I had to pee. The nurse said "We just removed your catheter. Trust me- you don't have to pee." I hollered that I most certainly DID have to pee, so she brought me a bedpan. Not one little drop, LOL.
Good luck- I hope it's as uneventful as possible, and wish you a quick recovery.
