going to sleep?!

Hi girls,

6 sleeps left and feel physically sick when I think about being put to sleep.

Is the needle painful?

How long does it take?

What does it feel like?

Could I wake up during the op?

Please help girls I’m scared! Xx

awww huni ur be fine ive had all those thoughts in my head too. im in 13days time. scared but excited too. your the 20th arent u. where u going and who with

Hi Jess!

If you ask for the numbing cream on your hands you won’t feel the needle at all. Op takes 45-60 mins and you just feel like you’ve had a really, really good sleep. I felt like I had been asleep for hours and hours. You can’t wake up during the op as they drip feed you with anaesthetic and then don’t remove the drip till the op is over and they want you to wake up. Honestly, you will be amazed at how easy it all is, nothing to worry about at all. I would do it ten times over, I loved the experience from start to finish and I have zero pain threshold, I’m the biggest wimp. x

I’ve been thinking the same as you Jess!! Glad my mind’s at rest now I’ll deff be asking for numbing cream! x x

oh my god im having numbing cream lol coz even though ive had 3 children me and pain dont get on well. im a big wimp too lol

hey hun, i was exactly the same yesterday, i wanted to vomit at the thought of the needle but jus tell them u want the gel on ur hands to numb it first, that stuff works a treat, i never even FELT them touching my hand, i felt the cold swoosh go up my arm and a horrid taste in the back of my throat and i then woke up in recovery!! honestly sweetie dont worry bout the needle as long as u ask for the gel u wont feel a thing xxxx its honestly not as bad as u think xx

I didn’t even feel the cold swoosh or the taste, I was just there one second then out the next. x

I was sooo scared of being put to sleep…and put off my op for years!!!

But HONESTLY…its actually quite nice!!! Id do it agian 2moro if I had to….Its an amazing experience….NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT….I PROMISE.XXX

Youl’ll be fine I was panicking abotut the GA aswell but it theres nothing to worry about.

lol when then they were doing it and I had the mask over my face it felt like it was taking forever and not working, my heart was racing and the anesthetist said “ooohhh you must be nervous your heart rate is going really fast” well duhh! ha anyway as it was taking so long I said “how long does it take” (I didn’t think it was working) but the next think I remember was waking up and it was all done! To me it felt like id blinked it all happened so fast.

I had the mask over my face and was out in seconds x

Thanks girls I hope so!!

That put my mind at rest more..cream it is..I also hewrd tou can have gas and air? Xx

I had numbing cream lol i hate needles. It really worked, anethenetist said the sanulars in. I was like eh!! Then he connected he tube and i head mr t say im good at my job you know and felt me hair being stroked, lol, ice cold feeling ran up me arm and into me jaw and fel like me jaw was tingling, managed to say night night and then i woke up lol! X

P.s i got offered the gas and air but i didnt like the sound of the mask going over my face so i got numbing cream and didnt feel a thing. Xx

Do you have to have a tube down your throat whilst your under? Xx

i dont know if i had a tube down my throat but my throat is kinda sore 2day like im getting a cold or sumthin so maybe hun, if there was i dont remember it xx

Yes they put a tube down throat. But u will never know or see the tube.. Nurse told me after cos i asked her lol xx

You’ll be fine I had mine yesterday. The nurse and anaesthetist chat away to you and you don’t notice them doing it! I barely felt the needle go in then after that I didn’t feel a thing. They put a nice snug blanket over you before too to make you really comfy. I was mid-sentence with the nurse, then the nicest feeling comes over you and you just drift off. Then when you wake up it just feels like you’ve had a lovely long sleep x x x

I had a nightmare last night it didn’t work and I was still awake in the op but the surgeons didn’t know!! X
