My tummy tuck is tomorrow, is it normal to have so much anxiety and fear?

  Anxiety prior to surgery is very normal; its complete elimination is usually not possible.I ask my patients  to try to be as calm as possible prior to surgery;  this “calmness"  tends to translate to a smoother postoperative course. You may be able to alleviate some  pre operative anxiety with music, exercise, meditation, a glass of wine (if ok with your surgeon), and positive/objective focus on the long term outcome/benefits etc. prior to your procedure. Generally, patients find that they did “get worked up for nothing” after their  recovery  is completed. I hope this helps.  Good luck!

Anxiety before surgery is normal especially fear of anesthesia. Call your plastic surgeon and speak with her about it. Perhaps she may prescribe you something. Best of luck.  

It is perfectly normal to be anxious prior to surgery.  You must have chosen your surgeon carefully.  Please trust her and her team.  Perhaps calling her office and speaking to either your surgeon or nurse would help.  Best wishes for your surgery!
