I'd say that's a proper attitude! You'll be fine. You'll do GREAT!! The reality of it IS quite breathtaking. Just pray. We'll be praying with you. (right Vance?)

Yes, it's totally normal! I was so scared, the day of, as I was getting my IV put in I felt like I wanted to run out of there! But, I remembered everyone here telling me it was normal and that they had the same type of feelings so I didn't read into it. It's surgery and we go into a situation of having "no control" where eveyone is "doing things to us" like IV's, carting us around, cuting into us :-) , so we're human. We are going to have that fear response.

Hang in there!!!!! Sending lots of good thougts your way!!!!

Oh yes, completely normal, I had all of the above too! You will do great, just keep up the good attitude and you will recover in no time. Best of luck to you!

Yep you are normal. It's a huge and exciting change we are all rooting for you! Best wishes.

Really just take a few deep breaths. Relax, before you know it the procedure will be done and over with, and you will quickly on the road to recovery.

Thank you guys soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. It means alot to have people that ive never met care and give an encouraging word. It means even more because you all have "BEEN THERE DONE THAT" alot of people don't understand the emotions that come with such a surgery. I sincerely thank you all from the bottom of my heart.. Im ready for the loser's bench
