I had the same fear...but, I kept reading the stats on complications, etc. You will be fine. Good Luck!!!

I had the same thoughts..

This was my first surgery and it freaked me the &%#* out...

But even pre-op, the possible benefits far outweighed the risk..

Good luck to you @@HealthyRN

Good luck. You will do great. It goes fast. I am 5 days out already!

This fat how are you doing? Has your energy returned?

You will be fine RN. Best decision you will make.

My surgery is tomorrow as well! At first it was scheduled for 2:30pm and then they moved it up to 9:30am!! YIKES! I immediately felt butterflies in my stomach. Not scared at all but just ready to get it over with. I'm making jello in ice cubes now for when I get home. At least I'll have something to look forward to. Good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow! We are on our way!!????????????

I feel fine. Just sore around my incisions. I have not tried to walk a mile outside in 100 degree weather, so I have just stayed home and rested. Today I drove for the first time and felt ok with the seatbelt on.

Good luck!!
