 Think of my little boy tomorrow please... ....as he is having both eyes operated on to hopefully correct his bad squint. I am sure he will be fine and I will be a gibbering wreck... janeyo - will post how he got on when I can  It's only day surgery but he's only 4 and seems so little to be having an operation.  ps I have bought him a WALL.E toy to hopefully cheer him up after!      |

| Oh bless. Best wishes to you all - you are prolly more worried about it than your son is - staying calm yourself to keep him calm is the most important bit so... deep breath, smile sweetly and repeat |

| AAh, bless. I had laser eye surgery a few months back, and my top tips. Make sure he has dark dark glasses as any bright light really hurts. Tell him he looks really cool in them. After the surgery, he'll probably be told to lie down, so make sure you read him a story - it SO boring just lying there not able to do anything. Cool drinks, and some comfort food at the ready. Chips are good as they are easy to eat when you can't see much. Anything that needs forking or cutting - not good! I sent my OH out for chips and curry sauce for me! P.S., I would have loved a WALL E toy after my op.

| All the best!!My little girl(6)had grommets fitted last week~I think i was more worried than her!!The nurses were absolutely brilliant!When we got home & still now she wants to know when she can have another operation!!Big bit of advice is to take a book for YOU!!!I made sure & took lots for Daisy to do(which she snubbed in favour of the hospital toys!!)but totally forgot there'd be a while that I'd be grateful for a good book!! Hope it all goes well for you,Di,xx

| I had a similar operation a few years ago, ....... 3 days later i had the most amazing black eyes ..... something to show off to his friends i reckon  ....... everyone thought my then B/F had beat me up and gave him loads of sh*t lol He'll be fine ..... they are mostly less scared than us parents ...... when my son had an op on his knee, he was telling jokes, they stuck the needle in and he dropped off ..... i passed out and split my head open on a table and ended up in casualty having 3 stitches good luck and huggles for him (and you), and definitely take a book

| It is scarey but children are very resilient. After my baby had his tonsils done he was back home asking for crisps Baby is 17 now and over 6ft! Be prepared, your little one will look really tiny in a hospital bed, a book for you is a great idea and a flask of drink. Hospital coffee is rank and expensive.

| Hello Janeyo My daughter had a squint and had an operation in one eye at 2 years old and the other eye at 4 years old. We were really nervous about it, but so glad we had the courage to have it done as her eyes are fine now. We found the most distressing part for us was when they gave her the anesthetic and then the waiting. Good luck Tracey

| I'm sure all will be well. It's you that needs a hug and a hand-hold, not him though, isn't it?

| Hope all goes well, today, Jane. If it's any help, I was always excited to have anything medical done as a kid, so I'm betting that you're more scared than he is. Good luck! |

| Sending big huggsss Janeyo, I'm sure all will be fine (my 18month old neice had grommits fitted recently and it was scary when she went under, but she came round not in the least bothered). Good luck, and let us know how you get on. Sue xxxx

| Aaawww, good luck I'm sure all will go well, and yes you will be a gibbering wreck, I was when DD was tiny and had her tendons cut in her toes, it's just as they get wheel in for anaesthetic (Daddy went in I couldn't). Don't worry we all do it
