Hello and welcome!!
Positive thoughts and prayers going out to you!!
I understand your concerns, because by nature...I would be feeling the same...
...however, going under to have surgery is very safe, and you will not wake until you are in recovery, and ready to do so.:)
The anesthesiologist is specifically trained to watch and monitor your progress throughout the procedure, so you stay sedated...and wake comfortably once it is completed.
My dad just had this surgery a year or so ago and did fantastic! His recovery was easy...and all went well.:)
If you have concerns still...talk with your doctor. He/she should take time to explain everything to you, and give you assurance that all will be fine.
Please see our Resources at the top of the main forum page here. You'll find great self help material to help you stay relaxed until you go in.
Keep posting with us as well, so we can keep you encouraged!
Talk soon,
