Not scared, nervous or excited

[QueenOfTheTamazons 634]

My preop is tomorrow and my surgery on weds. At least a dozen people have asked if I'm scared, nervous, or excited. Frankly I'm none of the above. I'm not even ambivalent.

I'm glad to be getting surgery because I know I need to make serious changes for my health but I'm not feeling particularly anything.

Anybody else feel this way?

Not me but that's good maybe your just at a point of radical acceptance to take a term from mindfulness...I like it. I agree with what you said and doing it for similar reasons but I'm still nervous and excited lol

Hopefully you're not numb...

I was that way. Nervousness set in when I was waiting to be taken up to surgery. It was a very long hour.

I was nervous and excited until the day of surgery and then I was just ready to get it over with. Sounds like you are practical and have faith in your surgical team.

I had flashes of anxiety here and there (thank goodness for herbal remedies!) leading up to the surgery, but a few days before this kind of calm and optimism settled in and I was Ready To Go.

I had surgery 9/25/16. I'm down 20 pounds. Wasn't expecting it to hurt as much as it did. First week Very rough for me. I'm still glad I had surgery. Best wishes with a speedy recovery.
