Many of my patients are afraid before surgery – afraid enough to cancel their surgery from fear of general anesthesia alone (~25%)! Fear is natural when faced with uncertainty, especially uncertainty around your body in an unconscious state, like the medical coma of anesthesia. Patients may be afraid of many things before surgery, like:

• The pain after surgery
• When they will be able to return to work
• The unknowns of anesthesia
• Who will be able to take care of them after surgery
• The success of the surgery (eg cancer surgery, etc.)
• And much more

Unfortunately, if these fears are not controlled, they can cause anesthesia and surgery complications. High anxiety before surgery can increase pain after surgery, nausea and vomiting, and possibly prolonged recovery time.

Fortunately, most of my patients’ fears around surgery and anesthesia tend to center on a few major questions: the IV needle placement, whether they will feel the pain of surgery while they are under anesthesia, and whether they will have resistance to the anesthesia. My patients with red hair and Ehlers Danlos syndrome are concerned about not receiving enough anesthesia, and sometimes for good reason!

In this video, I’ll break down these most common fears to help you take control of your anxiety before surgery! By taking control of these fears, you can feel more relaxed before going under, and optimize your chance of a successful and comfortable surgery.

The best part is that learning to overcome these fears before surgery can also have powerful benefits outside the operating room! Mindset is one of the most powerful tools before surgery, and optimizing mindset is also important for success in other parts of life.
