People, I'm a little scared.
Thursday morning I go in for ulcer surgery.

I know, it's relatively routine.

But I'm still worried, since I know even people going in for routine surgery come out in comas, or not at all. :scared:

3. you'll be ok, and
it'll be done and over before you know it! I was completely freaked about having my c-section. after 24 hours of labor, we had to do it, and I couldn't believe it when it was over. Good luck!

7. I understand, as I have had day surgery myself.
Not for an ulcer, but still, it can be unnerving. However, I believe you will be just fine, and I will send you good thoughts and prayers. Let us know how it went. :hug:

11. I felt the same way
before I had surgery. I wasn't a little scared -- I was a LOT scared.

You will be okay. I can't wait to hear from you after you recuperate.
