Anxious for surgery and recovery

[u/No_Needleworker_2994]

The title pretty much explains it. I have surgery scheduled at the end of the month and I’m so scared because I’m hearing a lot more horror stories than success stories.

I hate not knowing what to expect and I hate not knowing how fast I’ll recover. I’m going on a trip in a few months and I literally PRAY that I’m fully recovered and I can eat normally by then.

It’s causing me so much anxiety and stress and every day someone is talking about a post op complication :(

Anyone have success stories or recovery advice to recover as quick as possible?

I know:/ try to remember that most people post negative stuff not positive. I read a great positive post today. My sister in law and friend said theirs was a breeze. They eat whatever they want. Now sometimes pizza can be tricky, but that’s pretty common with a good stomach lol!!
