I am getting so nervous , scared, anxious and excited. My surgery is tomorrow. I have so many emotions going on right now. I am having a hard time concentrating at work. Any advice?

My surgery was 4 weeks ago today, so the feelings you're describing are familiar and pretty fresh for me. It's normal to be apprehensive about surgery, and I can't tell you there's a magic way to get rid of your fears. But it helped me to think about my new life after surgery, to think that after years and years of saying "I need to do something" about my weight, I finally was. I tried to relax and let the hospital staff and my family help me through the first few rough days.

I pray for a good outcome for you tomorrow. I'm still pretty new at this, but Im not sorry at all I finally had surgery.

Keep us posted on how you are and best wishes for a quick recovery.

mine was 8 days ago and the night before i had some serious doubts and self-induced panic. just keep reminding yourself WHY you are doing this. go through the routine exactly as they tell you. read as many hospital related threads on here that you can find. i felt like i went into surgery VERY informed and so nothing that has happened this far has been a surprise to me. that has made it incredibly easy for me! prayers for your procedure to go smoothly and an easy recovery!

It is only natural to feel apprehensive, experience fear and anxiety with any surgery. I think for me the biggest fear was anesthesia. Keep yourself busy..watch a good movie. THINK POSITIVE. Concentrate on the goodness that will result from having the surgery. Be prayful ..Ask your higher power for serenity. Before you know it ..The surgery will be over.

P.S. I did ask for a relaxer when I got to the hospital..also antinausea patch since I usually throw up after anesthesia. It will be all good. Blessings and a speedy recovery on your way
