Don't worry, it's not that bad!. No matter what surgery you're having!. What kinda surgery ARE you having!? Most of the time your put to sleep anyways!. I had 3 surgeries in my life and I'm 13!.
When I was 1 I became extremely sick, and had random siezers!. So my parents took me to the hospital and they told my parents that I had cancer!. Then about 2 weeks later my family asked a different doctor and they found out I had a staff infection, but i had had it for so long that i had to have surgery and get the fluids drained out of me!. So I had little mark on each side of my neck!. Not really a big deal, I barley remember it;)
Then when I was 4 I started having random siezors ( sp!? )again!. And it again took weeks until doctors found out what was wrong with me, I had a virus free brain tumor!. So I had brain surgery when I was 4!.
Then I came back again when I was 10!. I think I was the first one to relize it because I started having weird feelings!. I would get these feelings that I didn't know where I was, how to move, what my name was, it felt so weird!. Then once it finally went away, I would pass out!. Not like actually pass out, but i was SOOOO incredibly tired that I could have just fallen to the floor!. it really effected me in school, it started happening while I was giving speeches or had a turn reading outloud during class, and I just had to stop and sit there!. The kids in my class thought I was unusual!. So my parents took me to the hospital again and the same tumor had come back and I had brain surgery again when I was 10!.
I had previously went for another MRI about 3 weeks ago!.!. probably my 100th one, literally!. And now Im extremely thankful because it God forbid my tumor comes back, I won't have to have surgery anymore, there is new technology where they can use some type of lazor!.
So just try not to worry about it too much!. Just remember that doctors are professtionals, they know what their doing!. And again, there is the time where your scared to death rolling in the hall way on your way to the next room then you find yourself waking up surrounded by family members!.
Hope that helped;) Good luck:)Www@Answer-Health@Com

That was in the past, technology has improved much more nowadays even if it was two days ago something like that happened, it's still a different doctor and 2 days is a big change nowadays the way these scientists figure things out, you'll be fine, just imagine, that doctor you have has done tons of these surgical procedures that you're getting done and he's experienced and he'd be sued and fired out of that position in the job if he ever screwed up even the tiniest bit!. Good luck with your surgery and I hope it goes well! Remember, that happens to 1 in a million, now what's the chance of it happening to you!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you are a person of faith pray for strength and courage, if not stay close to friends and family they will give you courage and ease!. In the mean time stay away from TV shows like nip tuck and casualty and definitely that film awake!. Think positively and you'll be fine, i had my first surgery when i was eight months old and im still having them yearly, and fear has never captured me for i have my family and faith!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
