nerves setting in

HI all. Getting my preop today. Its really happing!! 3 more days to go! I am know without a doubt this is what I want and I know I will feel better,but I am scared silly.I just can't wait for it to be over. Jess

Hi Jess,

I was so nervous too. Right up until I checked in at the castle. Once I changed into their lovely princess gown, I started to relax. Within 30 minutes of being there I got a shot of something to help me relax and the next thing I know, I'm in the recovery room.
The ladies on here that say the waiting is the hardest part are 100% right. Try to keep your mind elsewhere {I know, easier said than done!} and it WILL be over before you know it. Good luck on your surgery and let us know when you get home.

You sound normal to me. I was nervous right up to the morning of my surgery. Then I was surprisingly calm. I hope that you can be too.

Good luck with your pre op , mine was actually pretty easy - a long day with a lot of waiting but not bad at all.

Hey Jess,

I always found comfort here, because everyone was "in the moment" together. Sisters that were ahead of me assured me that waiting was the worst part, and they were right. I also found out that the things I worried the most about were a piece of cake when I passed it. Some things will be difficult, but you will make it and when you look back you will say...wow I AM a strong woman!

I hope you find the peace you need to walk boldly toward your new life and new found health.

Sending you positive thoughts from the sunny south

I also remember being pretty scared the day before my surgery. However by the morning of my surgery, I was calm and ready. I think I was more nervous about making sure I had everything ready!!!

Hi...best wishes for your trip to the castle. I was a wreck the couple days leading up to my surgery. But before you know it, it's over and you are a . Let us know how everything went when you get home and are feeling up to it. Take care

My nerves hit rock bottom yesterday-I was a mess. Today I am calm and relaxed-I am sure a lot of that has to do with wonderful massage and then a pedicure! I am getting ready to have my "cocktail" and still feel pretty calm. It is here. The waiting is all but over. I still have to pack and change some songs on my MP3 but other than that pretty ready. Decided NO HOUSEWORK today! Ok, I will fold the towels & wash & put away my work clothes (dont want the boys messing them up). Hopefully as you are going in I will be coming out and we can chat on the otherside!
