Hi Tracey

Welcome to the site. I had my pre op assessment last week and was told I would have an oxygen mask on my face and needle in my hand when I came round. Nothing to worry about it as it is normal

Welcome.

I didn't have the nasal tube (just a Foley catheter) but I do know some people who have. It's a bit annoying but they got rid of it rather quickly.
