Hi everyone! I'm a 34 year old female who is booked in for sliding genioplasty on the 18th of July (3 days). As I have only told the 2 people who will be caring for me pre and post op, I wanted to chat to others out there who have had this or similar operations as I'm a little anxious! I'm worried I'll back out at the last minute! Any suggestions?

I should be in bed already! I have 2 sleeps before my sliding genioplasty. I got some Xanax from my gp to help with the anxiety and have been taking them over the last couple of days. I bought lots of purée apples and made pumpkin and sweet potato soup and carrot and celery soup to get me through.

Ok so I stocked up on puréed apple, made soups, tidied my house and now taken a Xanax to calm my nerves. My friend will pick me up at 6 am!!! We will get to the hospital by 7am and the op is at 8:30am. I spoke to the anaesthetist about my anxieties so hopefully all will be ok!!! Talk tomorrow!!!

Oh my gosh - you made it!! As soon as you feel well enough afterwards please let us know how you are doing!
I'm glad you started your review. Yes, you very well might go through a full on panic/freakout the night before your surgery. It seems pretty common, and of course is understandable since the idea of surgery can be pretty scary. I think just knowing that those feelings right before are common and somewhat expected can help though.
Do you feel like you have had an opportunity to discuss all your concerns with your doctor? If not, you might call their office and talk with them about it so they can address your concerns too.
Do you mind me asking what is your biggest worry that makes you think you might want to back out?
Awe, I completely understand. You might talk with your surgeon and ask if they can prescribe you something to calm you pre-surgery jitters(?).
