Nervous is it normal

I'm a person who follows her gut. Maybe to much. I got approved and got a date on Friday for April 18th. I am so excited but I'm also so nervous and scared. It could be that I've never had surgery before and now I'm choosing to have surgery. Please tell me this is a normal feeling lol.

    I would be more worried if you weren't a bit nervous. It's surgery. But, you will do great. Focus on how much you are looking forward to this.

Find some way to reassure yourself that works for you!
