Surgery Tomorrow...Terrified.

My surgery is tomorrow. I'm terrified. I know I WANT to do this, I know I'm ready and able to adhere to the lifestyle changes and look forward to getting to a weight that allows me to be more comfortable working out. I'm just so scared that something is going to go wrong, a blood clot, a leak, never waking up from anesthesia.....I know you've all seen this same post in similar form 100,000 times before but.....someone tell me it's going to okay.

I was ****ting bricks when it came down to my surgery. It is normal to be scared.

Thank you for making me laugh! I needed that. I start my bowel cleanse in a few minutes, so there will be no bricks, but there will be......lol

Watch garbage TV. It takes the mind off of life. I am guilty of watching all of the Housewives shows.

Try to relax. The actual statistics for anything bad happening are extremely low!

Find your positive attitude because you're gonna need it for the next 2 weeks or so. You're going to do great in surgery! And you'll be ready to put your best foot forward after to get through the first level of all of this!

Hang in there!! And let us know when you're on the loser's bench!!
