I have surgery at six. I didn't think I would be, but I am scared. My dad got severe brain damage during surgery when I was ten. He never remembered who he was or anyone else. He lived with the mental capacity of a three year old until he died in 2009. I know because the circumstance is completely different that the same won't happen to me but I am still scared. I hope this is worth it. I have worked hard to get to this. I have taken a lot of comfort from knowing that you all are out there.

I'm sending you positive thoughts for your surgery in the morning. You will do great. Best of luck on your journey!

I am sure u will be fine .. medical advances have made surgery so much safer nowadays so dont worry its over very quick, u might get a bit of gas pain afterwards and some discomfort like u been kicked in the stomach but seriously i was in more pain after having an operation to remove my wisdom teeth

good luck .. we wish you well ..
