Anxiety

[Neri 73]

It's just about 12 hours before I have to report to registration for my surgery, and I'm starting to get anxious. I'm afraid of not getting the surgery for one reason or another.

Maybe something will come up and the surgeon will have to cancel.

Maybe my liver didn't shrink enough (or at all), and they'll stop the process.

Basically, I'm afraid something will happen and I won't get my surgery. And I know it's silly to worry about such a thing, but I do. I can't help it.

My surgery is tomorrow at 8:00 AM and I totally am feeling the same way but we will get through this together! I am especially worried about the liver shrinking [emoji24]

I just had surgery on the 20th, am on 5 days post op today and walked 2.5 miles and feel great ! The day of surgery sucks, no way around it, but morphine helps . Day 2 is tuff as well but get up and walk every few hours and stop morphine midday . liquid Tylenol will help u sleep that night so ask for some . Will be hard swallowing day 3-4 when u r home , warm chicken broth works and micro sips . Just make sure u walk 5-15 minutes once u r out of hospital , try to work up to 2 x a day . Really helps with gas pain and bloating from IV. Make sure u use gas x, Pepcid and zofran anti nauseau post surgery - u will do great

ps, I wasn’t perfect on the 2 week liquid diet prep and all was still good !
