Having really stupid panics……

about something going wrong. This isn’t a panic about the op as such but about what happens afterwards. Whenever I have surgery/give birth/lose blood my blood pressure plummits & I end up having doctors & nurses flying around me inserting drips and trying to keep me concious.

I’ve never really worried about it until now. I keep having these thoughts of how selfish I’m being by having elective surgery when I know that this happens to me. The thought of leaving my little boy without a Mum just makes me fill up with tears and feel like I’m gonna throw up.

I know I’m being way over-dramatic but have any of you girls had this kind of panic?

Also, any post-op girls, do you think if I mention on the day of surgery that I will probably need a saline drip they will insert one when I’m in recovery?

Sorry, don’t want to put anyone else in a panic. Just need advice!!!

Claire its only to be expected you are feeling this way, I remember you saying you are having an uplift also…. im fine until I think about my 3 kids & then I start to well up…I think its because we are electing to have this surgery ourselves….When i sit & think about what im about to do i honestly get this whole nervous feeling run down my legs… I suffer from low blood pressure….

I cant really give you any advice to be honest.. just hope it helps to know your not alone… positive thinking & just keep thinking about the results in a few months time xxx

Thanks Hun, I know, we’ll all be fine!! xxx

I keep having panics about it too! My op is on saturday! It’s the first surgery I’ve ever had… and I keep thinking am I tempting fate (or even god to smite me!) by choosing elective surgery when there’s nothing ‘wrong’ with me… and i’m doing it for vanity. Having nightmares and all sorts!

Lol I was like this too, its normal to feel worried about it, as it is a operation etc but trust me you are in good hands, the surgeons know what they are doing and there’s so many nurses and docs around … Try ur best not to worry about it girlies. I’m 8 days PO now, I panicked over nothing!! Xxx

Omg Hun, your panicing now that I’ve chilled. You will be fine. I’ve wrote my letter in case I die and give it to my bf, so I’ll be reet even if I do peg it!!!! Xx
