[lachellove 486]

Hello , I've been actively commenting on a few forums and just wanted to get my fears out there. Surgery isn't that far. And as time passes in getting more and more anxious.. I know my surgeon is great. But I'm still nervous my first time having surgery . The sick part doesn't bother me I've been sick before 2 where I couldn't eat. And couldn't keep anything down. That part is expected. It's the what if that scare me .. I pray I will be complication free.. Any surgery twins ???? Sorry so long ????????????????????

I can only imagine the nerves once you know your surgery date. I don't even know mine yet and already a bundle of them. I try to concentrate on the other side and it helps some. You will do great and you have your own cheering squad here!! I do pray for you to have a complication free surgery and a speedy recovery. MOVE OVER LOSERS, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE COMING

The feelings you are having are normal especially if you have not had surgery before. Try your best to relax today. Everything will go great and your imagination is much scarier than reality.

The best thing for you to do today is do something's that take your mind off and release some of the anxiety.

Try some deep breathing exercises that calm the nerves. start by putting on some music that is soothing to you. Get yourself very comfortable. Take a nice deep breath in through your nose and then blow the air out through your mouth. Do this for 10 minutes or so, it can be very calming. It also helps to do this after surgery. It helps with pain control as well. It helps to block out distractions.

Try a relaxing bath or read a book. Anything to get your mind off of all the stuff that is causing anxiety, the best thing you can do is go into surgery with a positive attitude, it promotes healing.

You are going to do great! I wish you a very safe surgery and speedy recovery! See you in the losers club!

I am having surgery Thursday... almost your twin. I have had 2 c-sections, throat surgery, 2 D&C , an ablation, and knee surgery. Surgery and recovery do not scare me. I am scared to fail. So far that is where my anxiety comes from.

How have you been doing with your pre op diet?

Thank you so much. I'm praying for the same exact things although I know it's going to get hard I.e not being able too eat and getting Protein and adequate Water in take but those are welcomed.. I pray I make it though the actual surgery. And be complication free.
