Hi everyone, I'm here just to talk and maybe get some responses..I'm scheduled to have lower eye lid surgery tomorrow, to remove the bags that have been bothering me for years, and I am so nervous, I cant' sleep and I can't eat, and feel I have to talk to someone but have no one who can relate.. I'm 42 years old and in good shape, I do take care of myself, but no matter what I do, people always ask if I'm sick or tired or sleepy.. and it's because of my undereye bags I've inherited from my father...I've been a caretaker, a caregiver all my life, I've always put others before myself whether it was my parents my kids or my husband even my friends... this is the first time I'm planning to do something for me and only me and it's freaking me out...I'm nervous about the surgery itself, it'll be done under local anesthesia and some sedation, but still it's surgery in a very delicate part of the body..I worry about how my family will be inconvinienced for a couple of weeks after my surgery, they'll all have to help w/ the housework the driving etc..and I worry because I feel that this is the most selfish thing I've ever done in my life, it's for me and only me, so that I'll look better.. my family is supportive of this but feel it's not necessary, and I don't know anyone who has actually had plastic surgery to talk to..
Has anyone else been in my place? with eye surgery or any other kind of plastic surgery? Thank you!
