Hello! My surgery is tomorrow. I am having random bursts of intense anxiety. And keep thinking about how I'm going to feel when I wake up.

I keep looking at my daughter and feeling guilty and afraid for her, you know in case something bad happens.

I am getting through it okay. But just nervous.

Good luck, you got this. It'll be fine. When you wake up you'll be sore, so ask for pain meds. Try not to be anxious [emoji4]

It's only natural to be a little nervous. I remember waking up excited in the recovery room because that meant I had survived. LOL!

The surgeon are professional my surgery is June soon I'm just excited.

Everyone is nervous before any surgery I think but look at all the prep you've put into this..most people go into surgery with nothing other than fasting the night before!! Afterwards you'll be looking back thinking, what was all the hype about!! You've got this!

I think everyone goes through the a similar level of anxiety. I am almost a week out now, but I kept telling my husband if anything happens to please take good care of my children? Once I was in recovery, I kept asking if I looked okay as if something on the outside had been taken. You will be in and out before you know it! I wish you the best.

Thanks for your kind words!

I am a mom of two young daughters, I understand your anxiety. Of course, there is always a risk with surgery so this is normal. That said, even with all of the disclaimers, I think this is pretty safe surgery to have, comparatively speaking. Good luck with your surgery.
