Try to remember more good than bad will come out of it in the end, OP. Once you've faced your fears and insecurities head-on, you'll feel much better. Good luck!
Do you have somebody who could come to the appointment with you? The doctor might not let them come in with you, but just having someone waiting might make it a little easier.
Or you could ask to speak to the doctor ahead of time. Maybe getting to them him/her a little will make everything less overwhelming.
No matter what you do, remember that any anxiety you're feeling is just temporary. Your recovery will, hopefully, last the rest of your life.
I second the idea to bring a friend. Obviously I can't speak for the personal experiences of the OP, but my anxieties are always dampened if I have someone I know and trust with me.
