Today is the day

Wow the day has come. I don't know about anyone else but I'm scared out of my mind. I want to do it but now I think my nerves are getting to me. My surgery is at 10:30am . Any advice would help me.

      I would try to relax and think happy thoughts about all of the benefits you will get from this. Once the team starts prepping you the medications will help calm your nerves. Don't get discouraged

      You are going to do great. I had mine done on Monday and I am feeling much much better today. The first day was rough just take your pain medicine and walk as much as you can it really does help. S

    Don't get discouraged this afternoon if you have some pain or discomfort which is completely normal on the day of surgery. If they offer you pain meds take them, or if they give you a PCA (pain button) use it. Just do what the medical staff says and you should feel much better shortly after and be well on your way to recovery and success!
