Hi Leener,
I sent you a few private messages w/ my phone number. I was in your pre-op class and understand your anxiety. I asked Linda for a xanex and that really helped. I took one the night before and one the morning of surgery. My surgery was March 7th and I'm doing well.
The pre surgery stage was the worst for me, psychologically. Once I had the surgery, it was such a relief that It was easy to endure the physical discomfort.
