I’ve got my surgery 17/10/24. I’m absolutely terrified. All I can think about are all the what ifs . I’m scared of being under anaesthetic because I’ve never had any kind of any anaesthetic before. I’ve planned my funeral in case I don’t make it out even though I know that’s super unlikely. I’m really scared that they will find I have cancer and that I’ve only got weeks to live even tho back in January I had a clear ultrasound apart from a small polyp. My other fear is them not finding anything at all and they will just tell me it’s all in my head and I should go on the pill. In my gynaecologist appointment they didn’t even know my name or why I was there which made me feel like I can’t trust them. I feel so stupid but I’m so scared x
Everyone’s experience is different but I can report now that I was also very scared (almost 40 never had anaesthetic before) but I went on to have 3 surgeries this year (2 were IV sedation, and 1 was general with a breathing tube just last week) and no issues! The mental part of being in a hospital, waiting, anxiety, etc was the worst part. I would go as far to say that I almost liked the experience. I felt like a had an awesome snooze, went home, had no nausea so I ate right away and just feel cuddly and sleepy and napped on the couch!
