had a panic attack on the operating table

in my second attempt at surgery i had a panic attack on the operating table i was getting prepped and i told the anestesiologist about my first try at surgery and the complications i had i told him because of this i was very nervous and when asked if i felt anxiety i said yes i couldnt have versed because im alergic to it but nothing else was given to me in place of it so the lady was holding the oxygen mask on my face they put a strap around my stomach and i started feeling like i couldn't breathe when i told the anestesiologist this he said thats it let's get her outta here we are cancelling the surgery and then i couldn't breathe at all the nurses kept telling me i was breathing and my oxygen was at 100% but i couldnt breathe i felt like i couldn't speak i was sooooo scared i kept saying help me help me and it seemed to get worse i finaly calmed down i guess and by this time i was back in holding area ballin my eyes out the first time i tried to have the surgery i had an infection i didnt know about and this time it was my fault i feel like such a loser such a baby my surgeon said he's willing to reshedule but after i see my psyc dr has anyone else had this happen??? what could i have done to prevent this??
