My surgery was 14hrs long and I too had numerous people in the OR doing things at the same time. It's totally normal to have some fear of this surgery, I wept up to me being put to sleep!LOL It was my first major surgery, I had never been put under. I agree with Christine try to stay positive and don't let the fear consume your thoughts, you will get through this!! I will be praying for you and the doctors on the 12th.
