Im scheduled for June 28th and I am scared also, But from what I have been reading, this is normal! I am afraid of the unknown, of how hard it will be, what if I fail? etc. I am also afraid of the surgery, though, I know the risk are low, there are risk. But at this point, I feel the risk of not doing it are greater than doing it! my back and knees ache, I get out of breath on short hikes, I am tired all the time. I want the old me back! I want to be able to cross my legs and feel like a woman again. I want to be proud of the person in the mirror. I am so glad that I found these forums, they have helped me see some of the issues, challenges, fears and relief that other people in this situation have.
