I didn't sleep at all last night, literally laid in bed and at times thought my heart was gonna beat right out of my chest. It was so loud and hard I could feel it in my toes and tummy and ears. Almost borderline panic attack. I've kept busy today but I hope to God I can get some rest tonight.

I know this is the right path for me, I know I will be successful at this. But the waiting has almost got the best of me. Now that it's almost here I am in a weird state of stasis almost. Part of me is overjoyed and the other part is terrified at what comes next. The two competing emotions have me almost paralyzed... Any advice?

When I had a panic attack, I reminded myself of my reasons for having the surgery and that there was no alternative. With that, my resolve was reaffirmed and I never again questioned my decision.

Just relax and remember you have done the hard work already. You have researched and prepared for your big day. Try and be at peace with your decision as it will change your life in a positive way! I has my surgery 11 days ago. When I got nervous prior to my surgery, I would think about how proud I was to get my my life back in control. The surgery went so much better than I ever imagined. Good luck!

Good luck on tomorrow! Pray and relax.
