I guess this is Thin Privilege? A routine and happy hospital Surgery gone right. I'm at home right now recovering from some jaw surgery. It went so well! Because I think I'm on the right build and my BMI is not comment worthy from the surgery staff. Starts of a couple of days ago - I got asked to not eat from midnight the night before surgery was supposed to be about 9am. No problem I tell them I'll just have a dinner around 7pm get an early night then get checked in. I'll also not drink water either - it should be mint.  Got there and apart from about 30ml of water and a tablet for surgery the procedure was pushed back till about 1pm. It's something that happens right? So I'm hungry and thirsty and a bit of a saddo, but I'm sorta just coping with it. It's discomfort. It's being hungry no big deal. Plus since my surgery will be in the mouth area I don't want any food or liquid buggering up my recovery. I said so to the theater nurse and she said If "I ate anything my surgery would be canceled and she'd loose her head" and we laughed and I said that's not going to happen on my watch.  We took my blood pressure which was the usual normal - though I was a tad nervous it was a little higher than usual. The nurse staff were not worried at all about it - they are so used to seeing higher BPs in that place that they "had a good feeling about this."  I found the roller bed quite comfy, and I was making jokes with my anesthetist nurses, and the procedure went excellently according to surgeon and Dr.  The anesthetist said it was easy to find a vein, I got the good stuff pain medication wise and I was discharged with minimum fuss. I actually got out earlier than expected. I am impressed with the surgery staff.  I wonder how a larger person would have gone?
