Thank you and definitely! I always like to think of something that will distract me from the nerves

Thank you!

Thank you, and I know the feeling. I’ve had a few procedures done as well and the nerves always kick in the night before and day of lol

Thank you!

Thank you, this is really reassuring. And I am the same way with my normal problems lol

Thank you so much for sharing this! It’s really reassuring to know someone else who was as anxious as me found this surgery to be easy.

My main questions to you would be, how old were you when you got the surgery done, and did the anesthesia affect you at all after the procedure. I am only 19, and I know a lot of people don’t get the surgery until they’re in their 30s or 40s. I just wonder how that may impact recovery. Regarding anesthesia, Do you know what type they administer and if it affected you at all when you woke up from surgery? Were you out of it or saying anything stupid? And how your family respond to you post surgery?

Thank you! It makes me feel better knowing the surgery isn’t as bad as I’m making it seem. Recovery does sound difficult having the stents and stuff, but hopefully it will go well!

Thank you! It’s reassuring to know it’s not that bad

Thank you! I also worry about the healing process after as well as recovery, but I’m sure things will go well

Thank you for this advice! It’s really reassuring. Surprisingly, I am actually ok with the IV administering the anesthesia, for some reason the mask never worked with me until they put the IV in lol.

I’ve actually done pretty well with phone calls lately lol. But I plan to bring it up to my doctor tomorrow.

I definitely plan to bring it up tomorrow. I think they’ll probably tell me to keep taking it since this is a type of medication that apparently I have to take consistently. But I think my mom will allow me to stop if I truly feel the need to.

Thank you!

Yes, I absolutely hate last minute changes. This time went surprisingly well

I honestly don’t really know, I guess in college sometimes the people we recruit choose to stay overnight to do like team bonding stuff. I didn’t do that when I came in, I just had a few phone calls with my coach lol

Thank you! I did apologize yesterday because my dad forced me to, but I think what I’m going to do is gather evidence as to why I believe I can be more successful when I’m pushed outside me comfort zone

Thank you! I did kind of mess up the question by only asking for positive affirmations. But it does bring me relief knowing it is ok to go without the flu shot.

Thank you! I plan to get the vaccination but idk about my sister lol

My dad was actually the one that said he wanted to see my grades as a treat. It was Halloween at the time, so my guess is that he used that lol. My Mom is actually pretty honest with me, However, She does often use my dad to try and cover for herself (For example, she’ll say, “ Your dorm room was A mess last year, We couldn’t walk in the doorway. This year, your dad is coming down every weekend to clean it,” And, “ Your dad’s gonna be checking your grades every week, make sure you send them to him.” I don’t know if it’s anxiety, But my mom does have ADD and a tendency to lie sometimes. Thanks for your advice!

Thanks, and I’ll definitely consider it!
