Trying Not to freak out today...

Tomorrow is the day!! I'm trying to stay as calm as I can but I can't help but be nervous!!! I've never had surgery before and I'm just basically nervous of the unknown. I don't know what to expect... Ahhhh....... :unsure:

Congrats Carisa, just try to relax and breath. Keep your eye on the prize and you'll be fine. I'm scheduled for 12/19, and not nervous at all. I can't wait for it to be done so I can move on. Good luck and I hope you have a smooth recovery.

i remember that feeling, i was lucky, they tricked me. i was to have my surgery on nov 13th, but when i arrived there on the 12th they informed me they were doing it a couple of hours. once your in there everything goes quickly. nurses getting you ready, blood being taken, dr visiting you, then down the hall you go and wheeled into the operating room. then under you go, its that quick, next thing you know your awakeing thinking god that was fast. just keep yourself busy today, go have a good cry and release all that tension. you will do all rite. lets know how it went.............saddie

Good luck tomorrow. I was nervous & I work in the operating room. Surgery is a part of my everyday life. I knew I would be ok but I was still nervous. The day will go by quickly, hang in there. I made it through successfully and am at day 12 post op now. Please post after surgery and let us know how u r. Good luck & congrats :)

I'm 10 days out and it was not that bad. The people in the hospital I went to were just great to me. From the people that signed me in to all the pple in the OR. There are a lot of pple in the OR so be prepared for that. A lot more than I would have thought. You will do just fine. I have already lost 25 lbs since pre-op. Keep your mind on that.
