Re: Scheduled Myo April 30th

[Guest guest]

-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.

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?
