Answers:
It is common practice to give someone something to help them relax before a surgical procedure!. Dependng on what you are having done, and depending on the preference of your surgeon, you could get anything from Ativan to Versed to Valium!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ativan can stay in your system for up to a week!. It might not affect you for that long, but it can still be there!. Also, if you have any Liver issues, it won't be fully filtered out of the system!. Xanax is simple, and will calm you down just as well!. If it's pre-op meds, versed is the best of them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I 'm not a nurse, but I think the most common drug they administer is Ativan, which is an anti-anxiety med that clears out of the system easily!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
