SuperFab 689 Posted January 19, 2014 I'm right there with ya! I've had many surgeries (c-section, laparotomy for a tumor removal, laparoscopic procedures to remove adhesions, etc.), but I'm more scared of this one than any of the others. I'm realizing my mortality, I think. I don't want to leave my 5-year-old motherless. But I keep trying to remind myself that if I stay on this unhealthy path, I will be doing that too. I work in the legal field, so I'm aware of malpractice suits and that's what's scaring me, I think. Yeah. I get to feeling that way too. But then I think of all of the reasons I need to do the surgery and it keeps me going. I have spinal problems and need this pressure off my spine and joints. Also have sleep apnea and high bp. This surgery is gonna be a lifesaver. April. 1 CrazyJaney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
