I am so so excited. One thing is bothering me. My mom she is not so excited. I don't know how to bring her around . She says she is so worried about the surgery.

Hi Rosa, that is normal for loved ones to be concerned. Has she been to visit your surgeon with you? If not, see if she would like to go with you and then she can direct any specific concerns she may have with him/her, that right there often helps alleviate their issues. Also, if your surgeon has a support group, perhaps she could speak with some of his patients who are post-op and once she sees how well they are doing and how happy they are, she will understand why you have decided to go that route and be more excited and supportive of you.

In the long run though, she is mom, and moms worry about their kids no matter what; but that's okay, because it means you are cherished and loved.

My mom said the same thing. She's happy and worried at the same time. She'll come around when she sees you're excited about it.
