Surgery and breathing?

Hi..Maybe someone can help me to calm down somewhat? I am very worried about my breathing, and having the surgery. I do not breathe well while laying down. Even if I bend down my breathing stinks..I have asthma, and right now bronchitis. My surgery is September 30th, and I am very worried. Do you know if they prepare for that? Do they lay you flat AFTER they knock you out? And, while waking up post op do they know if someone does not breathe well to have them upright where they can? I am worried between the pain, and my crappy breathing that I will panic?Anyone else post op with terrible breathing..Are they able to work around this? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!! Getting the pre-surgery jitters..And eating everything in sight!
