I'm scared to death about going under getting the surgery done. It's not the pain that scares me...it is the thought of going under and never waking up. I have a wife and two kids under 2 years of age and it is unbearable to think of the three of them without me. This is the only road block to me being cut on and I know the chance of it happening is slim but just the fact that the chance is there is almost too much for me to bear. I know it comes down to doing it but I'm curious if anyone else had/haves a barrier to surgery such and this and how is was/is dealt with.

FYI..I'm in 30 years old, not overweight, and in excellent health other than the back issues.
