    I felt the same way. Had a panic attack 20 mins before surgery and had to reschedule. When I did have the procedure, I was so angry with myself for getting worked up over nothing. Just stay calm rel

    Awwww, sweetie, I know this can be a scary thing if you've never been put down before. I was actually scared because I WASN'T scared (I never am when going under) Focus on how your life is going to ch

Honestly, it's a piece of cake. I've put to sleep for surgeries 4 times in the last 18 months. Two of them in were only a month apart and within the last 3 months.

Being put to sleep is a piece of cake, seriously. If you tell them you're really nervous, they'll even give you a good sedative before you even get wheeled into the operating room. In fact, I whenever I've gotten the sedative I have no memory from that point until I wake up in the recovery room. It seems to go by in the blink of an eye.

Plus, think of it like this: You undoubtedly have gone through all the pre-op testing, yes? A big part of that testing is to make sure it's safe to put you under general anesthesia for surgery. If your doctor wasn't confidant it was safe he wouldn't have scheduled the surgery.

You will be fine. You'll wake up in recovery and be like "wow, I was worried for nothing!" :)

Trust me, before you know it, you'll be in the recovery room and you'll wonder, why was I so scared? Think happy, positive thoughts like this surgery is for a healthier me and I'm worth it! You are worth it and I wish you nothing but great success!

How are you doing now?!

I can't wait for my day to get here-come on Sept 27! :)

Everything went well thank you all!

Praise God! See you were worried for nothing!

6 days out, 10 lbs lighter! The first three days were utter hell. Day 4 found a reprieve from the pain. Day 5 and 6 I was human again! Piece of cake. Let the journey begin
