[Guest guest]

I have backed off for a while. I have a surgery date of

Sept 8. I am very fearful but need to face this fear. I am healthy

44 male who will be having upper and lower jaw advancement for my OSA.

I will also be having my tounge brought forward and Some Fat taken out

of my neck. my biggest and really only Fear is of dying on the

table.

Has anyone ever died from this surgery who is otherwise healthy. I

am 5 feet 8 inches 180 Lbs and work out 4 x weekly. Any suggestions

as I am obsessing about dying on the table not Living better, which I

should be. I here anesthesiologist don't Like to put pts under who

are obsessed with dying. Any Suggestions, the one suggestion I can

think of is to Cancel and live with that machine.
