I am prescribed valium normally because I am so nervous when it comes to any medical setting, I was told I cannot take my meds before I come in. I am curious if they will give me something right when I get there so I can keep my composure, I am a very nervous person!

Answer: Pre-operative medication before surgery It is always best to check with your operative surgeon about what they would like to give patients who are very anxious prior to elective cosmetic surgery. In our practice, patients are given a Valium type medicine once the IV has been started.

Answer: Calming the Nerves before Surgery Dratr Misslama7, In patients like yourself my anesthesiologist will meet with them at their pre-operative appointment typically he will prescribe they take their medications the morning of surgery with a sip of water at a designated time frame prior to surgery. There is no reason for you to show up anxious to your surgeons appointment. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
