You will be fine, and what your feeling is normal, after the surgery you will be fine..... Just don't think negative you will be out less than an hour after you wake up you will feel like crap but you will be happy. You got this . (:

You are going to be alright and you have made the right decision. It is normal to be nervous. The hardest day for me was th day right before surgery. Try and keep yourself busy to make the time pass. Fred was right, once they put you under, it seems like 5 minutes later and you are all done and in recovery. You got this girl! We are here for you

Good luck to you!!!!

Don't worry. Modern surgery is probably less risky than the drive to the hospital. And just think, by doing this now, you probably won't have to go back to the hospital later for some other serious problem like a heart attack or something. When I thought about it like that, it made it easier for me to get there.

The night before it was kinda like when I used to be a kid waiting for Santa Claus though.

remember, most of us commenting have done this and came out alright! I bet you will as well...

good luck and speedy recovery.
