I want CRS more than anything and know for the first time in my life I not only want it but need it but I have a very serious phobia of going under (never was knocked out, because I never had major surgery. Just minor with locals). I know the risks and I'm scared to death of them. How serious is it to go under general? My main thing is what if I'm allergic and I die on the table or they can't wake me up and I go into a coma. Is there any way a doctor can do it with locals - I know this sounds loony but like I said it's a serious phobia of mine and if I know I'm going under and it's not a life or death reason I think I'm going to need someone to punch me out just to clam me down. I'm aiming for CRS by next summer so I no longer have to wear a damn rash guard with a sports bra. I'm rambling now but the very thought makes me nervous, is this normal and if anyone has any resources (I searched but maybe you guys have some new ones) that show statics on general please share. Also anyone have advice on doctors in or around the NYC area - since funds are low it would make it harder to do by next summer if I have to travel plus I have people here that will help me post-op. I know, by my size I will need a double incision/bilateral mastectomy. Damn I'm a coward!
