Very nervous about it . Don't know what to expect . I never had any type of surgery so I hope I don't frick out

Almost everyone feels this way at some point before surgery, especially if they have never had it before. So your actions are very, very normal. Try to focus on other things, and realize there are millions of people who have gone through this surgery and are perfectly fine and healthy!

Hi Tita. I am getting my surgery done on July 7th so we are close in date. I too have never had surgery before and am pretty nervous. I just keep thinking about the low, low, low complication rates. I'd bet it compares to the chances of being struck by lightening. LOL.

Hey Tita, My surgery was on June 21. I'll tell you truth it is scary. I was excited right until they were wheeling me into the surgery room then I got extremely nervous. Then when I woke up I was in shock like what did I just do to my body. The pain was tolerable for me but to some people it's awful. You'll feel like you're going to throw up once you wake up and your stomach will be sore. Once I got home everything was so much better. No one was poking me with needles or waking me up at 3am to go for a walk. I can now say that I'm doing well. After that first week you should be better. I hope you have people that's supporting you and help you through this. I couldn't imagine going through this without my mom. If you don't have help, to take a shower I put a hair band around my neck and pinned the drain to it. It helped me. But I wish you luck and I'll say a prayer for you.

I'm not scared about the surgery I'm scared what comes after.
