Getting a little nervous



Recommended Posts

I just had my preoperative appointment and got the nitty gritty on my Surgery and what to expect, now I'm getting a little nervous. My surgeon said I will have a drain tube. anyone eles been thru this and can give me words of encouragement.

NOW let's be clear I am not chickening out I am just ready to get it done so I can finally be on the other side of this waiting game. SEPT 4TH 2020...

I didn’t have a drain tube but I did have surgery last week. It’s normally to be nervous but it will be worth it in the end. You got this.

I didn't have a drain for my WLS, but I did for my plastics. It wasn't that bad. You can definitely deal with it!

The same thing happened to me but she said it is most of the time removed before leaving hospital. Mine is supposed to be aug 28

it's normal to be nervous before a surgery. I've had several at this point and I still feel nervous before them.

I didn't have a drain tube, either. I know some people do with WLS, but most don't. I DID have them with plastics.
