surgery tomorrow, nervous, nervous, nervous!

Tomorrow's my big day, y'all. I go in at 5:30am. I'm all nerves. I know this is normal but I wish I could just stop the madness! I'm dropping my 3 little ones off at a friends tonight and my husband will take me to St. Francis in the a.m. I don't know who's more nervous him or me! I know it will be ok but just had to vent! Thanks...

Jennifer, Good Luck to you tomorrow!!!! Feeling nervous is normal, but You'll do great. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, Love, Dorota

Hi Jennifer, It's been a long time since I've posted. I've been around these boards for which seems like a long time for me now, since I started researching this surgery a year before I had it and it's going towards 3 years for me. It still seems like just yesterday that I was in the same spot as you. I remember feeling so nervous and then just as quickly had this calm come over me and stay. I knew I had learned everything I could and that my decision came from a great deal of advice and soul searching. In short, I knew I wanted this more than anything (besides my daughters) in my life. After you get your little ones settled and are on your countdown, be quiet with yourself and just go over in your mind and heart why you want this tool and you'll be fine. Take good care, and take it slow. Cheryl

The calm should/will set in shortly. I'm a little under 2 weeks post up and it did for me. All the research you've done and the decisions you've made were the hard part. Surgery was actually an easy part-since I can't remember much. I even had to wait a few hours after I got to the hospital and I was fine. No worries - your nerves will be fine too. Sandy

Thanks so much guys. Just hearing the supportive things you've written has helped tremendously... I appreciate it...
