I get to have my surgery August 2 and I am nervous. Anyone else in the same boat?

Congratulations! Nerves are normal, so just keep thinking about all of the reasons you decided to have surgery. I felt like a kid waiting for Christmas morning!! The first days can get rough, but luckily it all improves rather quickly for most. The best bit of advice I ever got was to keep sipping fluids and walk walk walk! It will help your soreness to go away so much faster when you walk. I didn't even have pain on the ride home from the hospital, so it works! Also it helps keep your blood moving so you have less risk for blood clots. Stay positive and be patient with yourself. Best wishes, and keep posting to let us know how you are doing.

Thank you! From your tickers it looks like you are doing great. I hope to have that kind of success.

I was so nervous last night I couldn't even 'eat' my last 'meal'.. I actually had to take a anti-nausea pill. They have actually moved may surgery up 2 hours for tomorrow. I got super excited and then seriously nervous again. I pray yours goes well!!
