I'm having second thoughts I need some support i am scared to death I am going to die!!!! But I am young and should heal quickly!!!! I have been crying all day of the fear of the pain....nausea.....and blood clots!!!!!

I too am still worried about blood clots....the thought terrifies me. As for the nausea, my surgeon prescribed a scopolamine patch for nausea. I have to put it behind my ear the night before surgery. I just keep telling myself it will be okay :)

Omg getting so scared , it's getting so close !! I'm so stressed out my body is hurting all over and I can't remember anything these days .. Can't even sleep with my strong sleeping pills .. Am I the only one having this much stress ??

I know what you mean!! I feel the same way!! TODAY especially because TOMORROW is surgery!! OMG I can't believe it's here!! I am unable to focus on anything else. My body doesn't hurt just cramping and I know it's because I'm nervous.
