Default Getting a bit nervous

So, I am one week away from having my breast lift/reduction (more lift than reduction) and tummy tuck. The big day is Friday, February 27th and I had my pre-admission appointment at the hospital yesterday and I'm getting nervous. I know I want the surgery and know it will all work out... but I'm just a nervous nellie, I guess.

Have others felt this nervousness? I think it's worse than for my RNY, I don't think I was this nervous about it... Maybe part of it is also excitement-I am looking forward to getting rid of my stomach that looks like it's 80 years old from all the wrinkley and hanging skin!!

Hugs,
Kimberly

Kimberly, I was a nervous wreck before my plastic surgery. Just like you, worse than before my RNY. I was having all kinds of really strange rather unpleasant dreams for a good couple of weeks. I remember LisaBoston saying the same thing before her plastics. It is a big surgery and I think the thought of the drastic change physically tends to be a little over-whelming. Like me, I'm sure all will go well. Just try to ride out those nerves of yours.
