So many emotions!

So I am here @ the dr office 1 week and a day before my surgery and I just feel like I am all over the place! I watched the video with all of the risks n possible complication that can go on during or after surgery, n although the risks were all rare it got me thinking.... "What have I gotten myself into?!! Then I hve to tke a breath n regroup!! Ok, I'm back!! Spoke to the nurse n that part of it was not too bad, now I am waiting to speak to the surgeon. I'm glad I took the day off because its a lot to process all @once!! I'm just really ready for this to b over... #NoTurningBackNow

Being nervous is very normal. My surgery was scheduled so fast I didn't get to experience the nervous part only got the I am so excited feeling. But after the surgery I was liike wow did I really just do this. Yea I did then I was nervous thinking what will I be able to eat. I was so used to stuffing my faced and planning my day around what I wanted to eat for the next meal I could not live my life. So this was life changing for me. It was also be life changing for you. I personally had no complications. Watching those videos can make you very nervous about the process. I would suggest you not watch them anymore. I know you want to know the possible risk and they are important to know but don't go to deep into it if you can help it. Good luck with your surgery!!!!!

You are feeling the same things I did. It's completely normal and healthy. You just have to know that if you don't do something the outcome being bad is guaranteed. If you do this the outcome if far more likely to be great!
