u/Longjumping-Room-170

Hello, I'm 15 years old and I'm going to have surgery soon under general anesthesia to have pins removed following a double displaced fracture of my forearm. Even though I've already had surgery on this arm and other parts of my body, and it's a minor procedure, I'm still scared. It's not the general anesthesia or the needles that frighten me, but the idea of losing all control, of being completely and deeply asleep, that worries me. I'm also very apprehensive about arriving in the operating room: the crowd, the noise, and all the machines. How can I explain my fear and anxiety to the anesthesiologist I'll see for a consultation in a month? My surgery is scheduled for six days after this consultation. Thank you in advance for your answers.
