Anesthesia Consult

Aug 23, 2013

Had a consult with the anesthesiology team that will be putting me to sleep on Wednesday.  We, and by that I mean they, because all the input I could give was I WANT TO WAKE UP, came up with a plan.  They will be using a different type of gas and pain medication combination for me. This should help me wake up better.  Because of the sleep apnea and the fact that narcotics have such a strong effect on me, I have a very difficult time coming out. 

The anesthesia team, surgical team, nursing staff and bariatric team are all aware of my PTSD and anxiety and have all been working with me very well.  

I got my CPAP machine turned down to 10 today and picked up my magnesium citrate while I was out today as well.  

I plan on getting my house in order and packing this weekend so that I can have a couple days to remain calm before Wednesday.

Still not hitting me yet but I'm sure by Tuesday I will be a bit more anxious   

Thank you for joining me on my journey !! God Bless !!
