I also have been thru 3 surgeries at 34, 46 and 54. I would recommend that you look up the risks after you have the surgery!
I came through my 3rd quite well, but did have a collapsed lung after the surgery that was addressed when I got to the cardiac care unit.
My surgeon said the scar tissue made my 3rd risky. It took 3 hours for them to cut through it and get to the actual reason for my surgery!
Of course, I would recommend Stanford Hospital and Dr Craig Miller. He has done some of us here and we are all here to talk about it.
I actually felt good after my surgery, very alert, and was walking the halls a lot after I was moved from ICU to the regular unit.
Nurses are very nice to patients who want to get better!
You are young and I think you will do fine. It's normal to be nervous. My hands were shaking the morning of surgery.
