what were your emotions the week leading up to surgery

i'm sure most of what i'm feeling is normal as of today my surgery is a week away JUNE 9th i can't believe it.. I have never in my adult life (when i was 4 had my tonsils taken out) had a surgery and am getting more and more nervous as it gets closer. Anyone ever think of the worst happening?

I got banded today! I'm a little sore but wouldn't change a thing

My emotions were excitement. I was excited to change my life, excited to feel better, excited to not be depressed. Sure maybe in the back of my mind, I was a tad worried, I know the risks of anesthesia very well. But you know what I don't regret having this surgery for one second. I have not been depressed in over 5 months. And while I still have a ways to go I feel so good and I look 100 ttimes better. (in clothes)
