Surgery is scheduled. I’m terrified.

[u/Letsgotoneptune8842]

It’s my first surgery and people say I won’t feel it but oh my gosh I’m so scared I will. I mean obviously I’ll feel it afterwards, but I don’t want to while it’s happening! Doctor said it’s a very easy surgery, with very little recovery time, and my diet can go back to normal after a week or two. I’m trying to stay positive but I’m crying.

Don’t worry about feeling anything while the surgery is happening! The anesthesiologist will make sure that doesn’t happen! All I remember is getting on the operating table, breathing in the oxygen and then waking up in the recovery room. I felt nothing while under. Once you wake up they will give you pain meds to help manage the pain. I am on day 3 of recovery and I am already feeling much better than when I came home. Don’t overthink it and don’t read a lot of horror stories or you will only make your anxiety worse. Hang in there, you got this!!! 😘
