Subject: 20th 2006 Jan partial vulvectomy VIN II&III Author: Vickie Davis [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Saturday, January 14, 10:18:24am Author Host/IP: 172.152.63.109 Hi, my name is Vickie..I am schedule for a Partial Vulvectomy on Fri the 20th (Jan) 2006). I'm pretty scared I guess because I really don't know much about the desase. I am 47, have had many surgery in the past but this one is really scaring me. I had both knees replaced in Aug of 2004 and really didn't give it another thought. This however is a different story. I have been searching the web and have really not found much about this. I would really like information from u gals that have had this and what should I look forward to when I wake up. I as no even put to sleep for my knee replacements, but my GYN says that I have to be put to sleep :-(!. Thanks for just letting me write this, any prayers would be great or advise. God Bless.....Vickie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I had a Radical Vulvectomy in 2001 and I was awake for this surgery as I am terrified of general and seeing's as you have had a spinal before I don't see why you cannot have one for your up and coming surgery. The Radical was my 3rd spinal for surgery. You will find it is usually the Consultant who has a problem with you being awake and not the Anaethetist, well this is how it works in the UK and it will probable be the same in the US, there must be a way you can meet with the anaesthetist and explain how you are feeling. As Karen says joining the group will help you and the Ladies who have been through this surgery already will be happy to help and share their experiences. Take care and I wish you luck with getting an appointment with the anaesthetist. Love Carol Awareness Saves Lives!!! Please, Pass it on... www.vaco.co.uk
