Anxiety

[Jesser 295]

I keep having reoccurring thoughts about having my sleeve in Mexico, then something going wrong- like my body rejecting my new stomach, bleeding to death, or my blood pressure bottoming out. is anyone else freaking out about stuff like this? I do already have anxiety issues, and having an elective surgery to remove the majority of my stomach has made my anxiety worse. I know that I want to do this, and need to do this. How did you calm your nerves?

I have generalized anxiety disorder and spent a lot of preop time really being sure my reasons for doing this stayed at the front of my mind. The questions of what could go wrong had to take a back seat when I reminded myself of all the research that had been done. All these thoughts are normal, those of us with anxiety just have to work a little harder to keep focus and move forward.
