I’m due a Hysterscopy by GA nex week  

Had the pre op Assesment today and answered all the questions..

anyone else had this happen?

im freaking out. Not about the op itself. I just have a bad feeling about the GA. 

  • The level of GA for a hysteroscopy is low - I walked down to theatre at 10am and was awake again in Recovery by 11am. Try not to worry, easier said than done I know, but it may well be just a minor clarification based on something from the assessment. 

  • Hi Caroley

    Sounds like they just want to confirm things. Maybe to talk through how long recovery will be and when you can go home and to make sure you have a lift home- things like that. Try not to worry too much. 

    When I had my surgery I had all the pre op assessments but still spoke with the anaesthetist on the day of surgery. It was routine chat and a bit of explanation about what would happen on the day. 

    Hope that it goes well next week.

  • Have you had a GA before? I'm always nervous before anything involving an anaesthetic. They may just be phoning you to clarify one of your answers.
