You will be okay. Just keep positive people on your corner

Your feelings are all normal... but in the end it is totally worth it. I do not regret it what so ever and would do it again if I had to !!!! Hang in there, ask questions, do research and get your support,..... you will do fine - GOOD LUCK :)

We have the same surgery date! Its going to be amazing!

I'm 52 and have been a truck driver for 35 years most people think I'm scary my wife says I'm a marshmallow. I was fine up till the day of surgery then started the what if game. 8 days after surgery I'm still here I have the best Doctor (ready for his name) not kidding -Dr Gandhi from Rochester,NY General Hospital.

You will be fine trust in your Doctor
