Yup, completely normal. Pretty much everybody goes through it. As far as controlling them, you can't. But what you can do is keep reading, you are about to be bombarded with people telling you how normal this is. This will help you accept te emotions and know that you are not alone.

I just had surgery on Monday, the first day was rough but the nurses are great and the meds are there to help you though the pain....day 3 here and im home and feeling much better....im walking all over the place now, thinking about going to do a little shopping tomorrow but taking it slow......you can do it....im a very nervous person and worry about everything too but i was fine and you will be too....relax relax relax!

thank you so much i just feel like I am going crazy ! congrats on your surgery and feeling so well :D

i was sooooo anxious the last 3 days b4 surgery i think i was up the entire weekend.

oh yeah its normal. you'll get thru it. just keep reading the replies that will surely get you thru it. . it is truly helping me that for sure.

It's normal to be nervous, it means you know what you are getting into. I'm 8 days post op, just getting done with the healing process.

The worst part was the gas in my chest that was gone within 12 hours of surgery, I slept most of the time.

You will be fine.

jasmineb, I too am super nervous, but mine is an excited nervous. I have been sleeping less and less for the last few days, I know sleep is good, I just can't help it, too excited. I keep shaking my legs and feel like I am jumping out of my skin waiting for this surgery. Good luck to you!
