Surgery date set- Instantly terrified!

[Dhdhshhshd 42]

I think everyone can 100% understand where you're coming from! It's a big change, and fear, doubt, and uncertainty is normal. I had RNY on 10/27, and I was strong on the outside but my mind was really going in the weeks before my surgery. Just before surgery, I was laying in my bed, IV started, and the tears came. My surgeon came in and asked me if they were from last minute jitters, and they were. He reassured me, and I was ready. But, even the first few days after surgery, I couldn't believe I'd actually done it. I'm only 6 days post-op, but no regrets so far! think it's a good sign that you're feeling these emotions, because it means you're really grasping the importance of this decision and you know your life is precious. I ultimately decided I'd rather have this surgery now while I'm younger and before my quality of life suffers from disease. Just keep the faith, have a positive attitude, and trust in your surgeon. And if you believe in a higher power, pray about it. Ask for strength, courage, wisdom, and healing. I think you'll receive it. Good luck!
