Answers:
no drinking or weed
just try to stay as calm as you can. it's hard. everyone gets nervous before a operation. you will be just fine just try not to worry. once you get too the hospital the morning of the surgery they will give you a shot and you will be way calm and soooooo happy.
we have all been there. It's not fun but you can do it.
Just go to bed and try to get a few hours.
♥good luck♥

No, wait, can you drink before surgery? I don't think so. That sucks!

Take a hot bath, have a glass of wine, and ask your hubby/bf to give you a good massage. If that's not available or you're too young for some of this, talk to someone to distract yourself.

do something to keep your mind off it.

Talk to some one about your fears and if you are unsure you should have talk to your DR. more.

Valium

Just relax with family/friends and don't talk about it. Put it out of your mind. And..pray. That will help calm you.

Go hang out with your friends & have fun. A night on the town. Go see a movie; go out to eat someplace you've never been.

im the same way.let me know when you find out.good luck though.

understand that freaking out befor surgry is normal. plus even if you dont sleep tonight, you gonna sleep tomrow for sure, right! :)

just dont dwell on it or think about it too much, just say to yourself everything is fine and be excited because you will heal and feel even better afterwards!

BEFORE THE SURGERY THINK OF SOMETHING SPECIAL OR SOMEONE AND JUST RELAX AND THINK TO YURSELF THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE.

Do something to keep you occupied. but don't freak. just don't worry about it. what type surgery?

Play an intense video game, something that will completely drain your mind for hours. Play it until you literally cannont stay awake any more no matter what you do. Then, you'll sleep really well.

Masturbation many times, because you might not make it through; so feel all the pleasure you can beforehand

beleivee me im 16 and i have had 3 surgerys i just watch my fave movie then eat alot then eat ice cream in my pjs! lol! gl

I went through a surgery. it's not bad. whats bad is what's after the surgery but not painful. U will do fine. U will be nervous since u are doing something new. Just chill out. and get ur things done that needs to be done.. and have fun the day before. u will be a sleep so nothing can happen to u.
Good Luck.

I had surgery in January and I too, was freaking out- and I am a nurse! When you go in, everything will be explained to you. The surgeon will talk to you ( a little bit, they are sometimes not the friendliest ) the anesthesiologist will talk to you ( they tend to be VERY cool ) and the head nurse of the OR ( she runs the whole room ) will introduce herself to you and will be there when you wake up afterwards. Let me assure you, the anxiety you will feel is much worse than the procedure itself- the drugs they first give you in your IV makes you so nice and relaxed- and before you know it you will wake up and it feels like it's been 5 mins! You will be fine- it's not that bad. But I totally understand your fear.

ask the doctor to prescribe a mild sedative.If you are nervous/'freaked' out the doctor will understand and give you what you need.

If you don't care to take these pills, then use all your energy in cleaning the house-doing laundry-answering/cleaning out your email inbox-keeeeppppp busy - you will accomplish 2 things: (1) keep your mind busy and (2) accomplish something :)

Good luck on your surgery.

Pray. Be calm, cos it helps with the surgery. High blood pressure due to fear of surgery will not be good. Leave the rest to fate.

PRAY! Pray for God to give you peace and relax you. Put it in his hands. He knows every hair on our head and our needs. Trust in him he will not let you down. Claim victory in jesus. God will not leave you or forsake you. God loves everyone no matter what. Just ask him to heal and watch over you and i will say a prayer for you to that all will be ok. You are not alone. God loves you. God Bless.
