LadyDarkness415 41 Posted August 2, 2016 I was so excited for this. Now that i've gotten so close to surgery date (Thursday Aug 4), i'm getting really nervous. I have no idea what the hell triggered this nervousness. And I feel like it has nothing to do with food. Its a big surgery and i've never had a big surgery like this. Anyone else feel like this? How did you get over it? Any methods to get over it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cervidae 2,389 Posted August 2, 2016 I got over it by making myself too happy and excited to be nervous. When it became something I was excited and impatient for, the nerves pretty much went away. I was just ready to go. Good luck to you! You'll do just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KAAI5 20 Posted August 2, 2016 I felt the same way, a rush of unexpected emotions and fears. Right up until they put me under yesterday morning. I have to wait 4 hours before they could start and it was rough being with my thoughts. I think most are likely nervous. It's a big deal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KAAI5 20 Posted August 2, 2016 Also was my first big surgery, I googled way too much so that didn't help! Just think about how amazing you will feel a year from now, that's what I was doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djmohr 6,965 Posted August 2, 2016 This is 100% normal. I have had upwards of 10 surgeries in my life and regardless of how excited I am that day and night before is always the worst. I have learned to really treat myself to a relaxing bubble bath, a book and some relaxing music to help me just chill. I use deep breathing which really does work by the way. I have never been more excited than having RNY because I was so ready. Same thing with my recent Brachioplasty. That being said, I barely slept at all the night before. It is normal to feel nervous and even a little anxious. Be good to you and best of luck with your surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
