I've dealt with insurance complications for 10 months and they finally approved my surgery! I was in happy tears but also felt like I was going to puke because I'm soooo nervous......like really, really, scared of dying from surgery. I'm 20 years old, 235lbs and relatively "healthy" for being obese according to my dr. Everyone at his office has said that I'm very low risk but I can't help but think of everything that can go wrong. The only time I've ever been under Anesthesia is when I got my wisdom teeth removed and I was FREAKING OUT even then. I'm second guessing this whole thing now but I know how much I've wanted this surgery. Has anybody been this scared as well? And if so, how did you get yourself through it?

In my medical chart it let's the Dr know I'm terribly afraid of being put to sleep , so automatically I'm given something because I to freak out so bad, ask if that's possible they usually understand. Hope this helps , Congrats you got this
