What you're going through is entirely normal and common! I think we were all there!
Logically --- you know you need the surgery, you know you'll be fine, you know you're "ready"
Emotionally --- you're afraid of the unknown, you don't want surgery, you want to run
Just remember we're all here and you truly will be fine - better than fine - when it's all over! You know it's not going to be easy sometimes, but before long you'll be saying "why did I wait so long for this?"
Take care and best wishes for an uneventful surgery and speedy recovery!

You are going through exactly what most of us went through before our visit to the castle! When you are stressed, just visit the post-op forum & see that we are all doing better after surgery!! What type of surgery are you having? An abdominal incision is a little tougher than the vaginal or scope surgery. I had the abdominal on aug. 16. I am pretty sore, but doing OK. I am only taking ibuprofen for my pain which is keeping it under control.
Best of luck to you & know we are all wishing you the very best!!

you will be on your way to recovery 2 days from surgery. day 1 after surgery will be a blur but will be the worst day you will have. keep positive and you will come out the other side a new person!
Good Luck
