The hardest part of surgery for me, before I knew to ask them to not use it, was the Versed. Nasty stuff used on all and sundry because it is probably cheap and because for many it knocks them out and apparently causes people to forget the surgery if they felt it. But it gives me the worst hangover imaginable. I was speaking to a nurse about the way I felt after a surgery and she told me it was the Versed and that I could ask them to use something else for the "relaxation" portion of the procedure. It makes me feel bad for days, like I'm wearing a heavy hat much too tight. The last time I had surgery without it I felt much better quite soon afterward.
