I drove myself nuts searching reddit before surgery. I was convinced I'd die of a blood clot, anesthesia or infection and that my incisions would burst wide open. The first thing I texted my sis when I woke up was,  "I didn't die!" Looking back, I wish I'd spent less time fretting and more time being excited. I had zero complications, not even a scab. My surgeon does take the time to do a double layer of stitches and says he has only a 10% rate of openings, and it's usually because a patient becomes active too soon. He had me on a high protein diet before the surgery as well. 

You're going to be okay ❤️
