So, I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am for surgery and all of a sudden I have gotten so nervous. I can't move out the bed. I need to clean my house, pack a bag for the hospital, etc... But I can't seem to grasp that tomorrow is the "Day". I keep thinking "what if I die during surgery"..."what if I go thru this and don't lose 1 pound" "what if that egg white I ate during my pre op liquid diet will delay surgery"??

I haven't told many people that I'm having this surgery so I can't really call and express my concerns with alot of people.

I had the same reaction--mix of nerves and plenty of adrenaline! I was self pay and surgeons in NY area were so expensive. So, I did my research and travelled to Dallas to have surgery with Dr. Kim at Forest Park Medical. I'm six months out and feel incredibly blessed! I was so nervous waiting to be wheeled into the OR that morning that I asked for benedryl. It put me into a calm, light sleep and I cannot even remember being wheeled into surgery. I can almost guarantee that you'll also feel incredibly blessed after surgery.
