Judy Shaw I saw a therapist at my primary care doctor's office a few times before my surgery due to anxiety. She helped me a lot by reminding me what I have overcame before in my lifetime. Things that I thought I would not get through I actually conquered. You, my friend, are stronger than you realize. No one can tell you it'll be ok except you. Believe it!! Remind yourself of things that you have gone through and came out the other side just fine. We are all here to help because just like you we all have had post op anxiety.
