8 days agoFeeling scared before surgery is completely natural, and these anxious thoughts are something many people in this community understand. Consider writing down specific questions or concerns to discuss with your surgical team - they can walk you through what to expect and help ease some of that mental spinning by giving you concrete information about your procedure.
