My surgery is 4 March and I am having some serious anxiety...I am also terrified of IVs. Hoping they can give me something before the IV.....but oh my god this anxiety about the surgery and Mexico.....I don't know which or if it both.....hope I don't back out...

I am hopless with IV's so I asked for medication prior to going into the pre-op room. They gave me a little gas too and I was out before they put the line in. You could check before hand if they could do this for you too

Ask your doctor for Xanax. Go through with the surgery no matter what. It'll be the best thing you ever do.

I haven't had surgery yet but you should be premedicated to relax. I'll pray for good outcome...
