Hello Anna,

Congratulations. I think it is perfectly normal to have your emotions all over the place; this is a big change. I am also having surgery on the 15th and it is amazing what keeps coming up.

All the best.

Completely normal and most of us felt the same way. Just remember that surgery is just one day (a few hours really) and then you can start the rest of your life. It's totally worth it.
