I had mine taken out last summer and I was the same way, TERRIFIED. I was in complete tears in the room where they set everything up...Mom had to hold my hand as they put the Iv in and everything. But it's not too bad, the pain wasn't bad as ppl say afterwards, and the recovery is fast. U just can't eat that well the first day. But I had mine done on Fri and went back to work Tues. Good luck
