starting to think about GA

by nat4andy 4th February 2012, 9:04 am

Hiya ladies,
Iv got my op in 5 days....OMG!!! It is starting to sink in that i am actually going to get this done, the pain doesn't worry me, i had a bad delivery with my son so i always compare my pain to that and it comes no where near!! But what is freaking me out is the GA, iv never had an operation before so I just keep thinking about what if I don't wake up. How do you ladies get over this?? I try to put it to the back of my mind but every now and again it comes back to haunt me xx Shocked

You will be fine hun xx it will all happen very quickly and before you know it you will wake up with your new additions xx Stars

awww nat dont worry. I did too, had loads of bad dreams and allsorts. Ive four kids - they were usually in the dreams ... its so daft tho honestly you are so taken care of NOTHING will happen to you. starting to think about GA 571992

There are loads of threads in the history on here, lots of advice about being scared of the GA - maybe have a rummage round? Its often just nice to hear that someone else was a bit wobbly about it and these lovely ladies put them at ease i think.

5 DAYS ..... OOOOOOH starting to think about GA 727935

Hun its something we all worry about towards the end of the journey, and you have nothing to worry about by the time they put you to sleep the next thing you know, your awake, they look after you really well.

I too was petrified and scared I wud never wake up to c my kids again :(
My anesthetist was AMAZING thou. He came around to me b4 surgery and told me that it was his job to put me under and, from the moment he does that, i am his number one priority. He said that he wudn leave my side for a minute throughout the op, he will check my stats constantly n I wud never b left alone.
This really helped me b4 the op n hope it helps you too :)
Good luck hun
Hugs
Xx

My husband told me later he was more worried,as he left me at the lift up to surgery he said he thought ,my god what if i dont see her again!!!bless!!! These things are very closely moniterd so please dont be afraid !!xxx

Awww Thanks ladies :flowers: , yeah its nice having other women to speak to who gave gone through it too. I am one of lifes worriers as my husband says, I panick over the most stupid thing. I am now worrying about the snow incase my op is cancelled incase the surgeon can't make it or something stupid like that. is it likely to be cancelled due to snow ?? Xxx

by rosey73 5th February 2012, 7:31 am

Hi nat I have my surgery on Thursday and am too worried about the snow, I have a driver and I am worried in case it is cancelled or that I get stranded in Manchester and can't get home after my op!! I will be so glad for this time next week when hopefully I will be at home on my way to recovery. It can snow all it likes. By the way about the GA, I have had a few ops in the past and the worst thing to happen was being sick x

by Nepoly 5th February 2012, 7:45 am

Hi nat, i'm not going to be much help i'm afriad as i have never had a GA and am really worried about it to but am doing my usual thin of not thinking about it!!!! EmmaArden.... What you said is great..... When do you ever hear of anything going wrong on anyone-let alone fit and healthy???? Thats so sensible and what i shall tell myself when i start getting the jitters!!! You're not on your own Nat and arent we March buddies??? Xxxx

by Jojo6 5th February 2012, 9:18 am

I felt exactly the same hun. I'd never had an op before and was petrified. But I have to say it was very easy and nothing at all to worry about. The anetheatist will put your mind at ease. I remember lying down on the table & saying how frightened I was & they just told me not to give it a thought, it's their job to look after you....they were so chilled about it all! They put you out so quickly & the next thing you are awake with your new boobs!!! xxx

by nat4andy 5th February 2012, 9:47 am

I will just be pleased to get there and it not get cancelled, if its not the GA worrying me then something else has to pile ontop. I rerly Hope its doesn't get cancelled xx

Me too! I've had them before and it was actually the part I was most looking forward to. You'll be absolutely fine. These guys know their stuff. Not long to go now!

by AmyD 5th February 2012, 11:08 am

i really enjoy going under GA too!! Didn't feel too bad when i came round either xxx

by xaxa 5th February 2012, 11:10 am

Hi nat4andy, thank you for mentioning this because I have the exact same thought going through my head again and again. I haven't been to the hospital since I was born (thank God) so I'm very curious about the GA part too!! I feel guilty because I never needed an operation and now I'm going to put my body through a trauma for a cosmetic reason starting to think about GA 683465

by nat4andy 5th February 2012, 3:26 pm

Iv seen a few ppl comment about the GA so its very popular by the looks, im sure when its over we will be thinking what was we even worrying about shrug

Don't feel guilty hun. For a cosmetic reason yes, but as all us girls understand, its more than that. Its about self respect and making life as happy as possible.... you shouldn't feel guilty, you should feel proud of yourself for getting up and on with your life and making the most out of it.... we get one shot at this life xxxx

by nat4andy 5th February 2012, 8:01 pm

Yeah we only live once so make the most of it whilst we can..I want to be an oap and think back that I have achieved all I wanted and this will be one thing off my list xx

by Chrissy1361 5th February 2012, 8:07 pm

You will be in and out before you know it hun. I've had lots of GAs and most of them were when I was ill and survived lol. I had mine done under local but not because of any worries or problems with it. In fact I like going under, felt a bit deprived this time lol xxxx Stars

Soo excited for your less than 5 days now hun xx

by AmyD 5th February 2012, 8:08 pm

me too nat4andy, its great to be ticking things off my list, disneyland will get ticked as well this year, its going to be a goodun!! xxx

by nat4andy 6th February 2012, 9:19 am

2 days to go :) but i prefer to say not tommorow but the next day it sounds closer. If I think about it I get nervous and think what the Hell am I doing so im not guna think about it. Can't wait till I wake up and its over xxx

by Oracle 6th February 2012, 10:06 am

I can totally understand your worries. My hubby had to have his wisdom teeth removed under GA - his motto was 'well if I dont wake up from it - I'll not know, so no need to be worried beforehand'

Bit drastic - but true I guess!

Two days starting to think about GA 727935

I bet you are soooo excited x

by nat4andy 6th February 2012, 10:16 am

I'm exited and nervous, if u think about me with my new boobie in a bikini it is the best thought ever Flash

I love to be in controll and have everything planned and I have a set routine so this is a strange situation as I can't think too much ahead. I'm very confidant with my surgeon just the GA that's scary so I try not to think about it. xxx

Hello again nat .... its getting nearer for you starting to think about GA 727935

I like your thinking ... me too - I prefer to say Ive only a fortnight to go rather than two weeks ... that sounds nearer for me too starting to think about GA 923101

I am not worried about the GA this time, the first time I was like you are feeling now but honestly its fine. They do things so quickly too, when you actually get in the the pre-theatre room they are all over you. Theres hardly time to get panicky before you are drifting off to the land of nod ... and then waking up with starting to think about GA 204135
