Surgery in a few hours

So, my surgery is in four hours. 5:30 am 14 May. I really should be resting, but I can't. First, I got up 2:00am 13 May for the nine hour to the hospital. I slept for three hours, and been up since then. I been trying relax, but I can't do it.

I'm a little anxious, because of excessive scare tissue, it might not be done. However, I'm sure what to expect if it is. Like, why I'm I really doing this? I fought for over a year w/insurance and being in compliance, now it's here and I'm questioning myself. Has anyone else had these random thoughts prior to surgery?

Guess I'll try to rest for four hours, please post any comments.

Thank you,

VAMP

Hey, we have all been there. your going to be fine! Just breath and remember why you decided to do this for yourself. It won't be a hop skip and a jump. But it sure is a life changer. One for the best mostly.

Your on your way. Soon to be a loser like the rest of us....:)

Be proud of what you are doing for you and your future! :)

I'm going in at 9:30am and I am facing the same issue but im trying to remember why I'm doing this ... I've tried many diets and is always gave up... I need this life changer to guide me in the right direction. So good luck to you and I'm right behind you

Good luck and just remember the first 5 days are the hardest !!! It gets better everyday after that
