About To Walk Out The Door To Start My New Journey!

Could barely sleep last night...woke up just a few minutes ago and I feel like I'm going to FREAK!! I'm trying to stay as calm as possible, but I know as soon as I get in here I'm going to have a panic attack. I can just feel it coming on. I'm so scared like you wouldn't want to believe!! I hope I don't back down. I know God will be with me and I have my family and friends there and an amazing surgeon, but I guess it's only natural to be afraid. I'm TERRIFIED though lol Well everybody I'm about to get ready and out the door I go!! I will be updating once I'm out of the hospital probably tomorrow afternoon so keep a look out. Hopefully I won't be in that much pain. Thank you all for the support <3 =)

You're almost on the other side! Best of luck. Best advice I can provide is to walk as much as possible. It really did help get things moving, ease that gas pain, etc.Looking forward to your after! :D

You can always ask for something to "relax" you!!! Seriously.... I have had several surgeries (knee, foot, kidney) and no matter the surgery I get anxious before hand. Once I was stuck outside the OR on a bed by myself, almost like the forgot about me. Needless to say sitting there by myself, waiting to go into surgery with not a single distraction made it ten times worse. Now I make sure they give me a "relaxer" while waiting pre-op. Often times they do anyway. But there is no shame in getting a little help. It can be very, very stressful.

I told another poster, that when you have second doubhts, think about all the thought and reasons why you wanted to do this and don't be overwhelmed with emotion right before surgery.

You will do great and everything will be fine. Thoughts and prayers.
