Well my surgery is in a couple of days....I am so afraid. Any advice? I am letting my nerves get the best of me!!!

I know how you feel - mine is on 05/06! I'm staying positive about this surgery by reading about other people's experiences (the good/bad), I want to be as prepaired as possible. Trust yourself and know this is going to be a tough journey but you'll come out on the other side healthy with your whole active lift in front of you! The closer my surgery date gets, the more excited I get. Which is odd for me because I'm usually a nervous nelly. My surgeon told me the surgery is like having your gallbladder removed. Good luck and I hope you have a speedy recovery. Keep us posted!!!

Thanks for you words of encouragement. I am just so nervous and excited at the same time. Try to sleep but I keep thinking about the surgery. Gallbladder huh? My friend just had hers removed she said it was a piece of cake. I am just going to have to keep praying on it.

No worries Mswanda!

You have come a long way already just getting ready to have surgery. Don't let the nerves get to you too much.

You will make it through surgery and recovery just fine and in 6 weeks you will be a whole new person.

You got this girl!

I'm with ya - I say a little prayer for my surgeon too (it can't hurt right) That's encouraging about the gallbladder too - that makes me feel a little better!

Hey Sharon!! Can I just fast forward to 6 weeks from now....lol. I wish I could. I can't let the nerves get to me.

I'm May 1 also. But weirdly not excited or nervous. I'm really a one-day-at-a-time kind of person so we'll see how I sleep tomorrow
