nerves and nausea
My LAVH & bladder repair is on July 25 at 10 am and pre op is next Tues morning at gyn and Tues afternoon at hospital. I am on my last nerve. I seem to function OK during the day, at work, etc, but now that I'm winding down for the nite, I'm all jittery inside. I imagine walking into the hospital the morning of the surgery and I'm afraid I'll have an anxiety attack and convulse and pass out!! I had nitemares last nite that had nothing to do with surgery, but terrifying none the less...woke up in a cold sweat, told DH about it, who was very comforting (funny thing tho, he doesn't remember any of it... LOL). From reading all the posts, I guess what I'm feeling is pretty normal. You all have no idea how thankful I am to have found this website!! One of my biggest fears is throwing up afterwards. I had surgery on my ear about 10 years ago and came out it just vomiting to beat all!!! And dry heaved for 5 hours everytime I opened my eyes....plus every time I heaved, I'd pee all over myself. It was horrible!! So I certainly don't want a repeat of that. Every medical person I come in contact with between now and the time I drift off in the operating room is gonna absolutely know that I want anti-nausea drugs!!
I ordered the swelly belly band today....does that really help, anyone post op out there use it? OK, I've vented enough. Is everyone as scared and nervous as me? Wait...one more thing...doc says that my uterus is little bit bigger than a big grapefruit...is that significant??

Hey Tatorsalad,
I go to the castle the day after you and understand. I had to call my surgeon's office today about my concerns with antheisa(rotten speller). After I hung up it dawn on me its 2ks from today. My focus at work is horrible.
Make sure everyone knows of your concerns they should be able to make it so you dont dry heave for hrs. Hang in there and come here often.
