I had knee surgery at Burnaby last december was nervous as hell, but you just lie on a bed waiting for awhile then when they take you in for prep you get KO'd pretty dam fast and then your just on a boatload of meds after you wake up. The one thing you should be worried about is the catheder (sp?) getting a tube shoved up your dick hurts like hell even with pain killers.

As long as you don't end up with a sick nurse or assistant who likes to do people when they're dead or unconscious, you'll be fine.

If your butthole hurts after you wake up and you ask them why, they will tell you they had to put a scope up there. *Don't believe them*

J/k............ nothing to worry about. Oh yeah, good luck and fast recovery to you.

Seriously. They will look after you. They'll probably have records of everything they do.

Surgeries are great if you're KOed. not so great if its a local.

The last surgery I had they only froze my hand to pull a couple screws out of my thumb. I was talking to the doc and the assistant the whole time and making jokes with them. when they were having trouble with their screw driver, I joked that I could just drive home and go get one from my tool box that might work better. the problem is you dont feel the pain of whats going on, but you feel the jarring of your hand in your arm. I imagine getting wisdom teeth out with a local is the worst experience in the world.

The surgery I had before that, I was wheeled into the ER with a massive amount of adrenalin, and then pumped full of morphene once I got there. I barely remember going into the OR for a 5 hour long hand reconstruction and I was so full of drugs when they wheeled me out all I remember was thinking "i know my hand is going to suck, but i dont care right now, I just want to sleep." the 2 weeks following that surgery after I left the hospital (no more morphene) was the worst 2 weeks of hellish pain Ive ever experienced tho, but thats more related to the injury than the surgery.

My father had major surgery last year and I visited everyday for a month. Nurses will do a great job after your surgery.

Unless I missed it in this thread, how long is your recovery period?

What kind of surgery? You should address your anxiety problems to the doctor or nurses because your anxiety is mostly caused by lack of knowledge about the surgery. Although they may have explained everything to you, pre-op and post-op instructions, it doesn't hurt to ask them for clarification or extra info. If you're worried about post-op pain, it's highly controlled and managing pain is one of their priorities, so you should be okay in that aspect. They might hook you up to something called a PCA that injects morphine to relieve pain, and you get to control the amount of dose you need (there's a limit of course). If you're worried about this surgery affecting your future, you can ask the CML (case management leader) to refer you to other healthcare workers such as physios or any other therapists to help you out. I'm in my surgical rotation level in the nursing program, so if you have any questions, I can help you do some research since it'll benefit me as well! Goodluck!

I hope your surgery went well!

UBC hospital has amazing surgeons working there. If you're getting lower abdo surgery, I'm guessing that it'll be one of the general surgeons? Either way, you're in very capable hands. The OR nurses there are amazing in general and you'll be recovered in no time at all. I've been in the UBC OR several times to assist and every time the patient has been given only the best treatment by the staff there.

I had surgery, a minor one as well, and it went by so fast, one minute you're laying on the operating table and they are talking to you next thing you know it you wake up and it's all done.

Only thing that made me nervous was I just watched the movie Awake. lol. but don't let that bother you. It's just a movie.

Everyone was super friendly and nice. The healing process was the part that I didn't enjoy. Anyhow, trust me you'll be fine.

The actual surgery isn't the worst part, but its the post-op recovery.... that takes a bit of time to completely come to your senses.

when i had my wisdom teeth removed, they gave me the option of being passed out for it, so naturally i took that option... only to wake up half way through it and hear the drilling and feeling the pulling/scraping. that was easily the worst experience of my life. (surgery wise)

My dad had heart surgery to repair a leaky valve back in February of last year. Reading about the procedure was scary - they basically saw through your sternum, stop your heart, cut it open, sew everything back up, all while blood flows OUT of your body to be oxygenated externally and pumped by a machine!

It was kind of sad seeing him all weak and messed up after the procedure, but he's alive and well today. The doctors basically gave him and his heart a new lease on life.
