It's a peaceful rest to me. But I do get nervous before a procedure.

We are out of control when under general anesthesia. It does require trusting our doctors and surgeons. Not always easy but once accepted it feels better.

I had some major surgery that followed months of procedures where I was referred to one after another surgeons each who specialized a bit more. In the end, I had surgery in a hospital across the bay, not one of the local ones where I'd had the other procedures done. I did get to see the surgeon a few times and I like him a lot and trusted him, as he is very successful and experienced. His confidence made me feel that I could trust him to remove part of my pancreas, an involved procedure deep in the abdomen.

I hope you can have the surgery that will make your life better.
