I was a little nervous going in of course, but the overall hospital experience was really not that bad. As far as the anesthetics go, I didn't have any problems. Before going in for surgery prep, I was given some medicine to get me relaxed, about 30 minutes before the anesthesia. Once they put the anesthesia in the IV, I was asleep within ten seconds or so. I was a little disoriented when waking up, but no, I didn't feel awful, just a little groggy. The p us like I would have thought. After the surgery, I was a little nauseous for a few hours, but really not that bad. Don't worry yourself too much! You're in good hands. Laparoscopies are very common procedures, and you'll be just fine!
