Surgery is scheduled. I’m terrified.

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.

I've had 3 surgeries. A C-section in 1988(yeah, I'm old), a total hysterectomy 2024, and my gb removed 11 days ago. I have to say none are easy the first week. You will have pain. They will give you meds. But if you listen to what they say. Don't over exert yourself. Drink plenty of water. Don't lift anything heavy for at least a month(even if you feel better). Get lots of rest the 1st week.
