Jitters / fear of the unexpected in a first surgery are very expected. I had a woman in my support group say that she was terrified to have surgery. And I told her, that when I had my surgery (being a big fan of shows like ER and Grey's) it was my first and I felt like a movie star playing a part. Everything seemed so big and so AAAHHH! like wow! I'm really here.

When I saw her after surgery, she told me thank you for that image, cus she was thinking of me and my story. And not so much the fear of the actual surgery. And she did the whole, wow this isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

hope it helps : )
