Perfectly normal to feel that way, even after having previous surgeries.  I wasn't nervous or scared for my RNY, I was so positive I was doing the right thing that I was just calm and happy.  But my tummy tuck is Wednesday and I'm alternating between being scared and nervous, then feeling a little glimmer of excitement, then to feeling like I should just back out and now that it's getting closer, the feelings are swinging faster and faster till I feel dizzy!  Of course I won't - I already paid for it and I've been waiting for this for months, but it's still scary, even when you really want it.

Thx for the well wishes I can use all I can get. I guess there is no turning back Im all paid in full and ready to go AAAHHHH guess I will sleep well that day as I am sure that I won't sleep prior to next Tuesday, however they did give me a prescription for Ambien for after surgery and I even have a refill maybe I might have to use it this week. LOL

Thx again I will be sure to post after.

Cheers

LOL - I was so scared at my pre-op that the first words out of my mouth when the surgeon came in were going to be "I've chickened out, let's cancel," that I didn't say a word and let my mom ask the questions until I felt like I could talk.

I've already posted my before pics, so I'm pretty committed to moving forward now because I can't have those disgusting things hanging out there without being able to post some good after pictures to counteract them.  I'll definitely report in as soon as I can.  Thanks for your good wishes - you can never have too many of them!!

Good luck and best wishes on yours, too!!  You'll be right behind me!

Hi!
I can't help with the implant stuff but it is normal to be excited and scared as surgery gets closer.
Just wanted to wish you well.........I'm sure you'll do fine.
