About 24 hours to go...

My anxiety is going wild right now with only 24 hours left to go until surgery.

Here is my question for those who have already had surgery... What is something you didn't know before surgery that you wish you would have known?

I will be praying for you a speedy recovery. Just take a couple of deep breaths and relax you got this :)

Good Luck to you!!! We will be praying and look forward to hearing you when you can.

These message boards really prepared me for surgery... My surgery has gone as they have said it would. The only thing I wish I would have paid more attention to is head hunger!!! It's killer and real!!! It will set you up for failure, so be strong!

You'll be fine and try to relax by maybe watching a movie or two. Something light and funny to try to calm your nerves.

My surgery went just like I was told it would. The only thing I wish is that I consumed more fluids then I did while in the hospital because I had to stay for four days for IV fluids. That was the only problem I had and it was me not the surgery that caused it.

I wish you the best of luck in this new chapter in your life.

Good luck!

No one told me that I would have far sight vision for a couple of days after getting out of anesthesia, thought I would have to go get bi-focals when I was discharged from the hospital.
