Hello @sarah60 and welcome to Mayo Connect.

I can certainly understand your anxiety. You have had a lot of health problems since your surgery last year. You do not mention the type of surgery, but since you are having a lot of digestive health problems perhaps the surgery was GI related?

It seems that are doing all of the right things now. You are following up on the physical issues with your physicians and also dealing with the anxiety with a mental health professional. I admire the good work you are doing!

We do have others on Connect who have discussed anxiety. Here are links to some of these discussions,

I would like to invite some other Members to this discussion such as @jimhd, @gailb and @gingerw and @georgette12.

Have you had bouts of anxiety prior to this, @sarah60?
