Well I'm not scared to death but yes it's intimidating. Best to share this with your doctor and the anesthetist. I had jaw surgery once and I was trembling so bad..... but I was afraid of the surgery because I was having my lower jaw sawed on both sides. I just told them I was scared (teeth shattering) and they reassured me. At some point you just have to surrender and realize this procedure is necessary. You're not the only one and this is a common fear. Sending strength and courage your way - you can do this.
