Operations are usually REALLY scary, so I understand your fear! I am afraid I don't have any great advice. Just remember that this is a job that is being done by professionals, and that they will do anythign that's in their power to get the operation right with little to no side effects. Of course there's no guarantee that absolutely nothing will go wrong, but I believe you can try to relax yourself. Try to distract yourself by doing other things. Don't think about it too much as that won't help You. Is there anyone In Real life who is supporting you right now? I hope so! Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @Sybs, your Fammily, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!

It is perfectly normal to be nervous before any medical procedure. But remember you are in good hands and this is for the best. They will take good care of you and you can explain to them your anxiety and fear. They will be extremely understanding and help you through it. Remember you got this, and it will be better once it's done. One tip I have is make sure you get plenty of rest the night before and be honest with the doctors. They know what they are doing. My tip that has helped with recover is pack a couple of throat lozenges in your go bag, since that helps with a sore throat if you have a tube in. I've never had a skin graft so I don't know what the procedure is like. You got this though. Sending you warm, healing thoughts. Keep us updated!

Just try to think about the positive outcome from it. Don’t dwell on the negatives because you’ll continue to worry trust me

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
