So up until now I was fine. Surgery is this Thursday the 14th and im soooooo scared. I dont wanna be in pain. Plus I hate pain meds and the way they make me feel. I also have an anxiety disorder and im freaking myself out. I keep thinking the worst possible senarios. Anyone else having doubts? Someone please tell me its not as bad as people say it is so I can get through this.

Its probably acid. It feels the same as hunger in the beginning

Ughhhh idk

I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in feeling anxiety about this whole adventure although I'm excited too. I'm new to all of this (support groups). My surgery hasn't been scheduled yet but my 90 days is up on April 8, 2013 so my doctor is saying that I should be having surgery at the end of April or beginning of May. I to have anxiety and have a difficult time not thinking about all the things that can go wrong. I have also tended to be a slow starter through this whole process. I'm especially having trouble giving up the soda and the pre-op diet is really stressing me because we haven't really spent a lot of time discussing what that is going to entail. I enjoy reading everyone's posts about your experiences and will definitely be taking you along with me to the hospital so I can get that boost if I start feeling nervous. Blessings to all of you who have just had surgery and those who are getting ready for surgery in the next few days/weeks
