Tomorrow is the Day

My surgery is tommorow and my anxiety is peaking in fear of complications. I have had some pretty horrible events occur in my lifetime and am afraid im going to be the special case with dominoing complications. Please let me know how you got past the anxiety.

  • I had these same fears, but did put my trust in God first, and prayed he would lay his hands over my surgeon's. If you are spiritual, I hope this helps...

Just remind yourself that complication rates are low and that you picked a reputable surgeon. You will need a positive attitude throughout all of this and from here on out. There is no reason to believe that your past experiences will form all future experiences. Unless you have certain medical issues that might complicate the surgery, and if you do you are prepared for them, just think positive and know that it will be hard work but well worth it. Now go get 'em!

Stay positive. Believe in your surgeon and yourself. Focusing on the possible negatives isn't going to make this any easier. Go back and reread all the success stories on this site. You'll do fine. Congrats!
