It's my first time here and I decided to join because the warmth and candour of your discussions is genuinely inspirational.
I'm a little bit overwhelmed by the prospect of going under the knife in six weeks. I can't wait but nevertheless the prospect has stirred up all sorts of emotions - from fear to odd things like the anxiety about telling my five (he would correct me and say 'five and a half') year old son that his Dad is going into hospital. Everything seems scarily abstract and I'm imagining a lot about what could go wrong. I see the dietitian in nine days, so I suppose that will help me feel that this is more real - tangible is good for my sense of control.
In the meantime I wonder do you have any tips?
How did you prepare? What's the right mindset to go in with? How did you feel about the surgery before it happened?
Thanks in advance,
Jx
