Is it normal to cry before surgery?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, crying before surgery is very normal. It can be a release for nerves, fear, or the stress of facing something uncertain—it doesn’t mean you’re weak or making the wrong choice.
Surgery can bring up a lot at once: worry about what will happen, feeling out of control, or simply being overwhelmed. Plenty of people cry before a procedure, even when they know it’s the right thing for them.
You don’t have to hide it from the medical team. They’re used to seeing nerves and can talk you through what to expect or help you feel more settled. If you’re feeling panicky, tell them before the procedure starts.
