 I am the world's biggest worry wart and fear any Dr.'s appt, hospital visit, etc. I dealt with it this way:
I put the thought of it out of my mind and didn't talk about it till necessary, even after I got my surgery date.
The waiting and admittance is the hardest. After that piece of cake - someone else is doing the work and worrying while you sleep, and re-cupe.

I also went in with a positive attitude that I built up and kept very positive thoughts like I am a fighter and a trooper when it comes to pain, and I will surpass all expectations, and guess what I did.

I had an extra worry - I was very over weight, bloodpressure sky high, and was even turned down by one specialist for my fibroid was VERY large and she said I would probably bleed to death, nice Dr. eh?

anyways I found one that said no problem, as he had a technique which involved tying a rubber band around the tumor which constricted any blood flow, etc, but the main thing is this - if anyone has a large fibroid I searched and searched for anyone who could relate to mine.
By the way !!!!!!my fibroid I was told was 12-15 pounds!!!! IThey did have to remove both ovaries as they were crushed to back bone by this tumor, and prior to going in I had suffered episodes of not being able to pass my water, and had to go into emergency to get my bladder drained due to the tumor .
Sure I'm left with the train track on my belly, and I now am sporting a behind hanging in front of me as well as the big one at the back side, but it was ok, and I went through it like nothing. The worrying (fear) was the worst for me!!
