So nervous!

I go to the doc Monday to schedule my appt and I've read some horror stories with post op patients. I'm freaking myself out. I understand with any surgery there are complications. I am thinking of backing out. Did anyone else feel this way before surgery?

      @@fatchick84 The feelings you're having are completely normal. There are risks with every surgery, but sometimes the risks are worth it, especially when staying the way you are now isn't working.

    This was my first surgery too, and I'd do it over again in a second. Best of luck!
