Surgery is tomorrow! 12/1

and I am absolutely LOSING MY MIND. I'm so nervous that eating today is almost impossible, and I only slept for 2 hours last night. I'm terrified of the anesthesia, terrified of the surgery itself.. it's all I keep thinking about.

Tomorrow is a new beginning and it seems so surreal that it's actually happening.

I know a lot of others have their surgeries tomorrow, how is everyone holding up?!

I had my surgery November 16th . Do you have anyone to go with you for your surgery.

Yup! My mom is coming with me.

Good luck. Don't stress too much I was nervous but it wasn't bad at all.

What you are feeling is completely normal! Try to get some rest tonight (easier said that done, I know). Glad you have support. My mother in law went with me.

Anytime I have a medical procedure I try to remember that it feels like a monumentally huge deal to me, but for the nurses, anesthesiologists, and surgeons - this is what they do every day. This is what they know BEST and they'll take good care of you. I hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Thank you everyone! I'm definitely not going to be able to sleep tonight, but I'm not having a panic attack anymore so that's a plus. Just ready to to be on the other side of it now! :)

You'll do fine! Keep us updated!

Good luck, mine is next month and I feel the same once I think about it, lol. Keep us posted after surgery

Mine is 12/2, so I'm right there with you Hun! I've been an emotional, terrified mess all week, but later this evening a calm came over me and now I'm thinking, "Let's do this!" You're going to do great! By this time next week we will be feeling much better and ready to begin our new lives! Good luck to you and let us know how you're doing! Prayers ~
