Morning anaesthetics are so much better than in the past . make sure when the anaeasthatist sees you your anxiety is mentioned you may get a pre-med to relax you .

I am a bit weird in that I enjoy the anaesthetic frozen in time..I always am topped up with oxygen & extra steroids

Go out today or do something nice that you enjoy to pass the time .have a bit of toast and tea before last permitted NBM

Good luck let us know how you get on ...hugs

Hi Megs90, don't worry you are stronger than you think! As a sufferer of Fibro, you have to be strong, so an anaesthetic will be a breeze compared to that! Like the reply from determined56, ask for a pre-med, do something nice the day before to take your mind off it. Do something you enjoy or go to your favourite place or treat yourself to something nice, basically, pamper yourself if you can, you deserve it! So good luck with the procedure, have faith and keep strong.

I know how u feel I was like that the first time I went under.Was a fear of the unknown.I have been put under 7 times since.the anesthetist I had saw me before My ops and put my mind at ease although I was still worried the first time.I'm sure ur in gd hands. Hope this helps and gd luck
