Topic: RE: Getting ready for sleeve SO NERVOUS OF complications

I'm officially scheduled for surgery on Thursday....it's been rescheduled a few times. Once because my endoscopy date was changed, another because the surgeon was going to be out. I have all my clearances but my blood work is showing high WBC...so I haven't officially been cleared by my primary yet. I need more blood work, but have my surgical clearance tomorrow. I WAS so excited to start my "new life", prior to getting my blood work. Now I am nothing but nervous. And I can't shake it. I know they won't let me do the surgery unless I am healthy enough and WBC is normal...but I can't stop worrying about what ifs? What if there's complications etc. I'm so sad because I was so ready to go and now I'm so scared. Has anyone had any complications, and how long post did they show? Infection etc? Any advice how to get over the nerves. I'm afraid it's going to make me want to cancel and I NEED this.
