No. First you will go to the Pre-op area where we will ask you a few questions. We will confirm that you have fasted, any allergies you may have and other aspects of the operative period. You will then be able to ask any last-minute questions you may have before surgery. We will then insert a cannula into the back of your hand or your forearm so you will feel a slight prick. We will then give you a sedative so that you feel calm and relaxed.
