Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 -Theresa, Good luck on your surgery. i am 2 weeks post myo and the best advice I can give you is that if you can, get an epidural and sedation instead of general anesthetic. I am SO glad I had sedation. I was out like a light but came to right away in the recovery room and had no side effects such as nausea, headache, etc. I'll be sending you good thoughts on your surgery day. > Well, I have been here for almost a yr now kinda reading the posts > but never saying anything.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 i had an epidural when i had a c-section with my 5 yr old...that to me was the worst part. i had general anesthetic with my tubal and I was pretty cool with it. I just had my pre-op yesterday and it didnt really hit me till i was sitting there the severity of it all and I just broke out crying. I just want this over with, I think the wait is killing me. Hey, even though this Doc says I dont have to do the bowel prep I do have the info from the other doc. Would anyone suggest me doing it anyways? > -Theresa, > Good luck on your surgery. i am 2 weeks post myo and the best advice > I can give you is that if you can, get an epidural and sedation > instead of general anesthetic.
