  1. Felicity, I am having the exact same issues.My surgery date is March 19. I have been having nightmares and panic attacks at times. I know this is something I have wanted for a long time, and I mentally know the chances of things going wrong are really low, but just the idea of having this surgery is emotionally exhausting me. I have the same concerns that I will not handle the pain well or I will find out that I am a big baby. Lol. I am really trying to spend time just coming to terms with all the angles of this surgery. I feel like maybe it is a good thing to go through this phase of uncertainty and fear because it does lead us to think about things on a deeper level. I just wish I had realized how emotionally draining preparing for this surgery can be. From all the hoops that many of us have to jump through to get our insurance to pay ,to preparing our families and friends, and last but not least ourselves, I must say it is an emotional deal. I wish you strength and clarity and I look forward to helping each other through this monumental time in our lives.
  2. Went to my required presurgery nutrition class and for some reason have become absolutely paralyzed with fear about the surgery. I am really worried about the amount of pain that will come from having such a sensitive organ cut out. I have read a thousand posts but I am still afraid I will be one of those people who will end up having a really low pain tolerance. I guess I am just super nervous because I have never had any kind of surgery before. Uggghh. I want to be excited, not scared.

  3. Excited to report I have been approved by my insurance and have set my surgery date for March 19 with Dr. Lee Schmitt at St.Vincents East. Just needing some encouragement from those of you who have gone before me.
