QueenOfTheTamazons 634 Posted October 4, 2016 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?

Butterflywarrior 241 Posted October 4, 2016 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icantbelieveit 955 Posted October 4, 2016 I was that way. Nervousness set in when I was waiting to be taken up to surgery. It was a very long hour. Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelliev2015 136 Posted October 4, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRev 235 Posted October 4, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marguax66 2 Posted October 8, 2016 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. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
