I'm scheduled for the 1st of May and my biggest fear is waking up and choking on the breathing tube oh and not being in control while I'm under u know... Just wondering has this happened to anyone? How did u guys all go with ur surgery? Oh and I'm in Australia would love to know if anyone is going through lap surgery Australia?

Since I will be under by the time they insert breathing tube and it will be removed before I wake up I think I'm good there. Here r my fears:

Being under anesthesia and they not realize I can feel what they r doing. This very rarely happens but being the over thinker I am it's lurking in the back of my head

Throwing a blood clot

Waking up feeling like I've been hit by a freight train

Waking up and liver didn't shrink enough so my surgeon stitch me back up without doing my sleeve.

I honestly feel I'm going to be ok but these r my fears.
