Really freaking out.

I'm three days away from surgery (12/31).... is this normal to have anxiety/freaking out? Not like horrible just... enough to cause me to be irritable and stressed out. I'm mostly concerned with how I'm going to feel and life in the hospital over the three day stay. It's like I can't even wrap my head around how different everything's about to be. I had 6 months to prepare and its just now hitting me (the freaking out part)... Insurance didn't say ok and give the final approval until two days ago - maybe that's why. I'm already telling myself I'll need to ask anesthesia for a stout dose of versed before wheeling me back.... Also, I haven't stuck to the liquid diet as closely as I was supposed to - I'm human. I know many have cracked and I'm one of the many - not trying to justify it. Just scared too that I wont have lost enough weight out of my liver. I've lost about 7 pounds already over the last week or so..... hopefully some of it came from my liver.

  • It is completely normal. I was so happy and excited leading up to surgery and then the 3 or 4 days before surgery I kinda freaked out a bit. But it is the best thing I have ever done for myself.
