This phobia is taking over my life!

Hi, I am having RNY gastric bypass on August 16th. As the date gets closer, I find myself kind of freaking out for no apparent reason at all. I've been looking at WLS patients on youtube, but also watched a lot of videos on anesthesia and I worry soooo much about waking up during surgery, "anesthesia awareness", mind you, I've had other surgeries before with no prob, even had knee surgery in October and did fine, do you think it's just because the nature of this surgery is making me freak out?? Do you know anyone who has had issues with this? Sorry if I'm not making any sense, lol... I go for my pre-op stuff on July 20th and can talk to the anesthesia docs that day...
