5 hours until surgery and scared to death!!

I was up half the night because my nerves wouldn't let me sleep!! The three day liquid diet was coming out all night as well. Now I have a tickle in my throat and a slight cough. Could just be dry mouth and allergies. Should I worry or call my surgeon? Have I turned into a hypochondraic? I have never had surgery before and I am soooooo freaking nervous!!

Just relax. For me the worrying and waiting were the worst part of the process. You know what to expect after surgery. Just stay calm, relax, and you will be fine.

came down...it will soon be over...i regreted it a lot in the beginning but 22 pounds later....it's the best decision!!!!!! good luck.

Just try to relax - procedure is very simple and very little discomfort afterwards. It will de a distant memory quickly. Well, besides the fact that you will have this great tool to help you regain your health.

The jitters you have now are nothing compared to the sheer joy of watching the numbers on the scale tumble down. Don't worry. It's really not that big a deal. I went home four hours after surgery with absolutely no complications. A little soreness for a week or so is a small price to pay for a smokin' hot bod in a year or so!

Everything is going to be fine. You have every right to be nervous, because this will be a huge change in your life. However, it's a change for the better. Just keep that in mind and you will do just fine. :ohmy: Good luck.

I have surgery scheduled for this coming Monday and the nerves are starting! I know I'll be fine, it's just wondering what it's going to be like that's making me a little nervous. I'm just so excited!! Can't wait to see the results!
