Tomorrow is the big day

ok so I can't pretend it's not going to happen any longer as i have to be at the hospital in less than 12 hours. I'm resigned but frightened. Glad I stumbled across this forum it's been helpful.

    Good luck Catrin. It really is not as bad as you fear. I was an absolute wreck before but hospital staff were amazing. Pain was controlled and I now nearly three weeks post op and feel good. Minimal pain, walking everyday. You will be fine xxx

    Wishing you all the best for tomorrow and don't worry please. I was terrified and when it was over I laughed at myself but was also grateful it was over. First day is obviously the worst but if you are like me ...my pain had gone! It was the most amazing thing ever I just knew I had to be strong and get back on my feet again. Incision cam be tender but it will decrease day by day. Please don't worry it's the best thing you will ever do.Bug hugs x

    Best of luck to you Catrin! I'm scheduled for mine on April 2nd and I'm also petrified. But the people on this website have helped to calm my nerves.

    Please keep your chin up! You have to be strong for those of us that will come behind you. You have to let us know how you are.

    Hi Catrim

    Its natural to be scared so dont worry I got to the room before the op and the nurses said its too late to back out now. I am so glad I had it done. Pain free from the time I woke up from the op and I am 4weeks now , you will be fine Ruth
