You'll be just fine. Elaine Send a noteboard - 01/07/2010 02:01:55 PM
Have you had it (or PK, Lasik, etc.)? Were you freaked out? Was the thinking about it worse then the actual surgery? Will the 5mg of Valium they will give me be enough or should I just have my doctor prescribe me Xanax?


I have indeed had it. I wasn't really bothered but mummy dearest wasn't having me walking up the aisle in anything less than absolutely perfect physical shape :D

Worrying and fretting was definitely worse than the surgery. I HATE people touching my eyes or my ears and I was freaked out entirely but I made myself stay calm for the examinations and suchlike. The Valium will do you fine.

What the hell kind of doctor gives you Xanax on demand immediately prior to surgery? Fucking hell.

I'm too chicken to go on Youtube and check a surgery out, should I just give in and view it or do I not want to know?


Why would you do that to yourself?

Any other thoughts?


They give you a teddy bear to hold over here, it's comforting :D

I had drier eyes than usual for a year afterward but that's gone now.

Warning - sleeping pills might be a good plan for the few days afterward. I was in quite a lot of pain.
