Hi all,I have been on my pre op 11 days now, coping well, 10lb off, and surgery booked for 11am Saturday 10th, people keep asking me if I'm nervous, I can honestly say No, and sitting here now, thinking about it, is it normal not to be worried? Will I get an attack of nerves when I get to hospital?? Feeling rather confused lol

I think everyone is different, I've only had 1 major op in my life (6 hour op) and I was as cool as a cucumber right the way through but when they started putting in the sleepy juice I started crying and decided to tell them I'd changed my mind, but I was under before that happened

Hi,

Having never been in hospital before I just relaxed into the entire experience and put my faith in the skill of my surgeon and anaesthetist to do their jobs. Realising everything was going to be out of my hands once I was under I didn't have a care in the world and was totally relaxed. If I had to do it all again would I be as relaxed as before - absolutely.

I hope you continue to feel the way you do and have as positive experience as I did. All the very best.

AE.

Thanks lady's, I have had surgery twice before, I just feel that everything is going to go well, and I will recover well, and loose lots of weight lol, so lets hope that's how it goes x

I wasn't nervous about the op, but I was convinced something would go wrong and they'd cancel it. It's great that you're so positive, good luck for Saturday! x

I wasn't scared. I was determined and in some ways resigned - I knew there was no other choice. I didn't flip out in theatre and like you u was worried that I wasn't worried!
