If you weren't nervous about surgery, there would be something wrong with you.lol

We've all been there and done that.

Try to think only of the future you in smaller clothes, moving easier and enjoying your new life.

Remember everyone in the OR are professiinals, there to keep you safe.

BTW- from OR to recovery room seems like a split second.

Thoughts & prayers for great success. Keep us posted and follow your Drs orders to a T.

Me too.... I have to be at the hospital at 9am on Monday; surgery at 11am. I have periods of complete calm, with anxious spurts of panic. I just want to be on the other side already.

The best of luck to you!

My anesthesiologist put me at complete ease when he said I put my life at greater risk getting in my car every morning than having something happen during this surgery. It will be fine. I was super nervous too. You will get through it.......it will be great.

Congrats on your decision!

I will keep your anesthesiologists words in my thoughts till my surgery date!! It's helping me already!!

I'm scheduled for Tuesday morning and paranoid because I've had a low grade fever for 3 days. Stressing myself out!

Aside from nervous and anxious, do you feel okay? If you are getting the flu.....something along those lines, you should tell your doctor. They will hold off on the surgery, but it's to protect YOU. If the fever is from nerves, a couple of Tylenol might help. I would call your doctor and let him/her know what's going on.

Other than extremely stressed out I feel fine!

Yeah - I totally get the extreme stress and nerves! I had to take a Xanax the other night, just to neutralize myself

Omg ......I get my surgery this monday. I have to be at the hospital @ 8:30 and my doctor said I will be in the OR by 10

Yep... nervous is normal, but it will be over before you know it. Try not to stress too much. All will be well!

Everything should go smoothly, I was out and woke before I knew what happened. They fixed a hernia too. It was actually a pretty good experience for me.

Let us know how you are doing.
