As I said below, this surgery really is a piece of cake comparitively speaking, REALLY! Try to stop fretting about the "what ifs", because that can make you so sick that they may actually have to cancel the surgery. Try to relax, read a book to keep your mind occupied, have a glass of wine, or ask your surgeon for an anti-anxiety med like Ativan. They don't want you to be this worried about the surgery, so talk to them. I need to have one of my permanent implants replaced, and I have no fear about it whatsoever. Try to trust your friends here who have been through it. You will be amazed at how easy it is. Prayers coming your way, please keep us posted.
