Surgery in March!

Okay so I'm 19 years old and have PCOS, high insulin, and might even have problem with my thyroid soon due to family genes! I'm absolutely nervous about the whole thing and my nerves are going crazy! My family and friends support me 100% because I've tried alone and due to having PCOS and high insulin I gain weight for nothing. :(

I'm 2 months away from having my surgery! And I'm terrified! Is there anyone out there that has any ideas on how to keep calm before? Obviously I can't see a therapist because I have to get cleared by one and I don't think having anxiety problem will help my case. Lol.

Anyone else have any ideas? Or stories that will help me?

Hi girl,

Don't be scared...I was the same, had diabetes, anxiety, the whole mess...

I had surgery on December 11, and the worry was much worse than the surgery!!! I had limited amount of pain, was able to eat to pureee within one week, and I feel better and healthier than ever before! I have diabetes, and have been able to go off of all medication including insulin.

this is a wonderful opportunity, and will make your life better and healthier :-)
