I have experienced a wave of emotion and anxiety. Did anyone else deal with anxiety and fear in the lead up to surgery?

My fear of living more of my life not feeling whole outweighs the fear I’m feeling now. However, I must admit I am quite scared. I also feel sorrow/ mourning the loss of my natural erection forever( even though it’s already limited). Being only 38 years old and doing this is hitting me hard.


Just basically want to know if anyone else experienced fear and sorrow once surgery was confirmed and how they dealt with it.



absolutely normal - you're going with top notch surgeon so rest assured. Complications can happen but at least you have a surgeon that's seen it all and can help optimize your result.

Hey man, I would say yes completely normal. I am scheduled for next Thursday the 26th. I have been all over the place. Shots are still effective but I know not sustainable. Im feeling more peace w it compared tp weeks ago and ive messaged many on here and have researched as much as I possibly could over the last year. Lol. Just praying everything goes well and I can get back to my amazing sex life even tho its w shots right now we still manage 4 days a week. Good luck bro!
