Well I am finally getting it done. Tubal Ligation Tomarrow. They intend to simply slip a band over the pinched tubes and the two incisions will only be 4mm long each. They plan to use general anthesia. I am hoping I can convince them to use conscious sedation because I'm a little freaked about being completely knocked out. I have had two major surgeries and never been under general anethesia.

Anyone want to help calm my fears of general anesthesia their comments would be appreciated.

I have walked into the garage and seen the numerous boxes of baby things, the crib, strollers, walker, swing, etc. I may need some things because I am continuing to do childcare but as for the clothes and things - I will be needing to clean out most of it. The reality is starting to hit me. I keep asking myself "Are you really sure?" At least I can say without hesitation that I am. I'm almost afraid that I will get twinges of second thoughts afterwards. These questions aren't second thoughts. I'm almost amazed that I am going through with it. At the same time it feels like this is where I want to be now and for the rest of my life. I'm content and I don't think that will change.

Any ladies who want to share how sterilization made them feel emotionally I would care to hear it as well.

Thanks in advance for the support.
