May I ask what did you do to relax before the operation? I have accepted the fact that I would undergo surgery but oftentimes the thought makes me nervous. Any suggestions on how to relax?

Noreen Kitchen It's so hard waiting. I wish there was a clear answer to what to do to ease your mind. I took something to help me sleep eventually as the nights were the worst for me. You just have to have faith in the people taking care of you. They will want the very best for you and do everything they can to see that it happens. Soon you will look back and not even believe that it actually happened. You will do great and soon you'll be on the recovery side of things.

I worked all day and ended up taking sleeping pills. I would go days without sleep because I was so anxious. There's nothing easy. Having faith in your surgeon helps. I hope you find what works for you

Darlene Smith That is a really good question. I didn't have trouble sleeping, and I wasn't nervous until the day of surgery. I did tons of research into all the possible outcomes, good and bad. I researched my surgeon extensively. I finally came to the conclusion that I couldn't fix the problem myself, and I had to trust my doctor or go somewhere else. Once I got there, I just became calm. Worry kills your life. Its just not worth it. And having 8 prior surgeries helped too, although they were all very minor except one. So I generally knew what to expect. Have some fun before surgery and make some quality time with friends and family.

Phyllis Petersen I did guided meditation and enjoyed family and friends. Plan something really fun to give you that boost to get you the rest of the way.
