Pre surgery jitters

Did any of you get really anzious about surgery? I have woke up 2 mornings in a row scared to death. Wondering if I should do this, do I really know what I am getting myself into.... Is this normal?

I feel like this is the right thing, I am just scared something will go wrong.

well my surgery is next monday, and im feeling the same thing!  i keep thinking something bad is going to happen, makes me really nervous.  so im right there with you!!!

I definitely had my doubts/second thoughts. About a week before surgery, I was seriously questioning the sanity of my decision. I think it's totally normal to be nervous, apprehensive, and scared. It's a major life change, it's major surgery. I think someone would have to be insane not to get a little freaked out. 

It's been worth it for me (3 weeks out). The pain wasn't that bad, they gave me good drugs, and things are going fine. You get used to the food restrictions, and the number on the scale is unbelievable. You'll be fine. Just hang in there, and don't forget to have a buddy to talk to. The freak outs get worse if you don't let them out of your head once in a while.

Hi Breanna,
I was so scared.My anxiety was really high even with meds! I had never been put to sleep before.That is what I was scared of.I had RNY and woke up and fine.Then 3 months later I had to have my appendix removed.I was so scared AGAIN.My teeth chatter in the ER while Im going in.Woke up and was fine.Now MAYBE only Maybe.I might have to do it again.We are checking my Gal bladder this week.It might have to come out.Again Im freaking and havent even had the damn Ultrsound.What Im getting at is YOU ARE NORMAL!!!!!!!!!! This will be the best thing you will ever do for yourself.I feel very comfortable with my surgeon.I trust him with my life and I think that is very important.

hi!, I wasn´t scared 'till the night before surgery. and after surgery i was scared to dead. i was feeling great! but i felt a lot of guilt for doing that to my self.(silly thougth)  i was feeling like that for 4 months or so. but now i totally love my RNY. and Ì would do it over again if i had to is the best thing i`ve done 4 myself.
all that feeling worth it like a 100%.
good luck, and don´t be nervious.
hugs
mariana.

Its completely normal, I almost walked out of the hospital the morning of my surgery!  Just know that you are doing something good for yourself and that it will all be over before you know it!
