Terrified of Surgery and not sure what to do.

Did anyone else have the desire to go through with surgery, the will to LIVE through anything afterwards but were scared to death to trust someone to operate on them? I think that it is my brain that is scaring me the most. When I think about WLS, I do not think of the weight I will loose or the energy I will feel after the weight is off. I think about the tubes, the knives, the masks and everything that can go wrong! I have never had a manic moment in my life (except when I pulled the drill from the dentists hand) but when it comes to medical procedures I am so scared and squemish. Did anyone else have these fears and actually go through with the surgery?
