Paralyzed by Anticipation

My surgery is April 17.

I am having trouble concentrating on things that I need to do (particularly at work) to prepare for a two week absence. I start one thing and then move to the next before the first is complete and then am paralyzed by what all needs to be done so I end up doing nothing.

Same at home. I just want to come home and go to sleep.

Anyone else feeling these types of "paralysis"?

I feel the same. Surgery is April 12th and I have so much to do, but feel like I can't focus on anything.

Deep breath and remember: you've done hard things before and succeeded, and you will succeed this time as well.

Yup. I just got my surgery date, and am amazed at how frightening it was to actually get a date. More real than actually "Getting the VSG sometime in the future." More emotions to feel and process!
