Op day tomorrow!!! So nervous about GA!!! Started by: Sophie Jude

Heya I was scared about the GA too but i was actually fine! The needle really isn’t that bad at all and your body sort of goes all heavy when you fall to sleep. Everyone reacts differently afterwards but for me personally I felt a bit sick and I was really annoyed that I had done some work in my dream that had now gone lol xx

Hi Sophie,

I was the same, I have a huuuge phobia of vomiting so was absolutely prettified (especially after previously suffering with sickness after ops)

I promise you I actually loved it!! It was the best part of the whole day. It was a strangely calm environment and I was asleep within seconds. My canular was in the elbow crease and didn’t hurt at all going in, although uncomfortable afterwards I think this is purely because of where it was.

I felt woozy after but had also asked for as much anti sickness as possible! I wasn’t sick and honestly wish I could have GA everyday I really enjoyed it!

Good luck with your op and I wish you a speedy recovery xxx

I was nervous being put under but I loved it!! Best feeling ever it’s like being the most tired u ever been in your life and u just doze off. When u wake up in recovery they have a tube thing blowing heat under your covers keeping u warm xx

It was the only thing I was nervous about but I’d do it again in a heartbeat! My anaesthetists were lovely and chatty, I didn’t notice the cannula going in, I remember him saying “you’ll feel heavy…” and I was out, came round feeling really with it, I was crying but I wasn’t upset and I was chatting away to my recovery nurse like normal, had a little nap to sleep off the GA and then they brought all my food in (I wasn’t with MYA and had lush food!) didn’t have much appetite but I did feel better for eating and then was fine! Slept through the night fine, didn’t feel sick at all. You’ll be totally fine love!

@vogue2016 Dunno if you’ve been in yet but I’m all done and I feel great! Absolutely nothing to worry about!! xx
