- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

less than 3 days
Less than 3 days to go now. It has been such an emotional roller coaster. I haven't cancelled but I have come so close to. I am still anxious. Will be so pleased when its all over and done with & I can get on with healing. I just hope I dont panic on Monday when I go I . Am excited but very nervous still & still feel a little guilt as I have got 2 lovely kids who are my life & a great hubby. Wish me luck x

Like many others have had not liked my nose. Have lived with it but hate having my pic taken, conscious of my profile. It looks ok from the front but the side! One side in particular is awful. So I finally plucked up courage to see someone about it, the surgeon I have picked I trust. He was honest and acknowledged what he can/can't do. He is conservative in his approach which suits me.
I spoke with my husband, who bless him, said he hadn't really ever noticed it but was happy to support me if this is what I really want to do. So I booked the surgery and now at less than 3 weeks I am really nervous and having second thoughts. I am worrying mainly about having the general anaesthetic, I have never had one before, I have had a local and an epidural. I have also never had surgery before, so will be my first ever op.
I have spoken to my husband and he said its perfectly normal to be scared of the anaesthetic and he would feel the same. He said its my decision and If I want to go ahead or cancel he is supportive either way. I have 2 children also which I think is what is making me feel more apprehensive about it, I keep thinking what if... I spoke to the surgeon about the risk of anaesthesia and he said that I was more at risk from driving on the motorway than having GA.
Many of my friends have had an anaesthetic, some for minor procedures and they are all fine. I guess what I am looking for is some reassurance, did anyone else feel like this? How did you get yourself through it? I am afraid if I cancel I will regret it, as now is the perfect time for me, for time off etc. It is so difficult because I don't really want to tell anyone, have only told my hubby, 1 friend ( who has had the procedure) and my sister. Have not told my parents as I know they will try and talk me out of it and also because I don't want them to worry. Does anyone recognise these feelings? Can you offer any help/support.
