Surgery scheduled

[Sandycarlbp]

I finally have a surgery date - August 27! I’m nervous and feeling some fear, even though I feel strongly that this is what I need to do. I’m trying not to read too many forum posts about others’ experiences. I know everyone is different, and I want to keep a positive and hopeful attitude about it all and cross any rough patches if/when I get there.

Anyone else out there who had those scary/doubting feelings pre- surgery? What helped you manage them? Thanks.

Congratulations! I had those scary thoughts. Some of mine was worrying if it wouldn't work. I just tried to stay focused on each step I was on and that helped. As new foods were close to being reintroduced it made me excited to progress in the stages too.

Thanks for reminding me to focus on the next right step, and to trust the process.
