Hi folks
Im having my first operation next week, a tonsillectomy.
I've never had an operation before, I get very panicky, I hate feeling out of control and I'm also emetophobic (fear of vomiting).
I want to know whats its like, genuinely, to 'go under'?
I have no problem with needles. I just don't want a panic attack just before the GA.
Will I feel like i'm fainting? That scares me.
I dont think I want any sedation because that might freak me out even more so - feeling 'out of it' before I'm really out of it!
Thanks
