3 days until surgery super anxiuos

I am full of anxiety... and can't wait until surgery.. every day.. mix of emotions .

 I am having surgery on the 8th as well. Good Luck and I hope everything goes smoothly for you!  I am starting to get butterflies too!

I was eating anti-anxiety meds like candy for a few days. Then you go in the morning of the surgery, and they give you some anesthesia and you're out and the surgery is over before you know it even happened. I asked for the earliest possible surgery appointment for exactly that reason so I was there at 7am and in surgery at 8am.

You are where I was last weekend.  My surgery was Tuesday.  I found that all the anxiety wasn't needed.  I didn't have a great deal of pain. It was like having a REALLY bad stomach ache for a few days.  With a pain pump, I could pretty well control my pain.

Good luck!  You'll be great!

I was freaking out as well, but you will be amazed when the day gets here. I had my surgery last Tuesday and can't believe I was so nervous! The nurses explained everything they were going to do before they did it and that really seemed to help. The Valium the gave me right away was nice too. Just let them know you are scared and hopefully your nurses will be as great as mine!

Good luck! Stay positive! And until your surgery day, stay busy!
