Pre op Jitters are horrible! I just had my surgery on june 22nd- I hate needles I throw up and pass out and all that fun stuff but I was ready- I had an erie calm-even my mom and my best friend were shocked. Just make sure you take your meds on time and tell the nurses that you have a hard time with needles.. I didnt move my right hand the whole time I was in the hospital cause it had my IV in it The pain is not that horrible with the meds...also I am surprised no one posted about taking the on-q pump out but it does not hurt so dont be scared!!!! I was freaked out but it was for no reason. I have been out of the hospital since the 23rd and already on the computer and moving around and I am soooo far from hungry. I would suggest you do see a therapist for coping skills though cause you are going thru one of the biggest things in your life for nothing if you dont learn to change that! Good luck to you and a fast recovery
