    My surgery is 8/10 as well. I've found that reading through this site about all of the individual experiences has helped keep me calm. Having insight from those post-op really helps to know what to basically expect so you are not going in "blind".

    Not gonna lie though, I'm expecting my anxiety to be off the charts this Monday-Wednesday. I also don't expect to sleep very well Wednesday night. ? I will be really busy with work though so that should help.

    I guess my advice is to prepare yourself with knowledge and keep your mind busy with other stuff. Good luck!
