That was my fear with goign into surgery. Just keep reminding yourself that without the surgery you might not live much longer either. Amy

hi Stephanie! before my surgery I had nightmares about surgery, all the what ifs. I thought about surgery 24-7 and then started having panic attacks, chest pains, sweats. it was awful! Two weeks before surgery I stopped coming to OH and realized it was the message boards that were making me feel that way! It was hard to stop coming to the boards since I was reading them all day and night. Theres great advice here, but theres also people asking about experiences, pains, issues since they've been home after surgery, the memorial page, etc. I was reading the good and bad! Once I stopped reading, the panic attacks, chest pain, sweats all stopped! sometimes you just have to take a step back and realize you're doing this for you, your surgeon knows what he/she is doing and you're in great hands!
