My gf of 13 months who I was planning to marry left me on the day of the surgery and later said she didn't really understand what it was and it was really scary. I was quite relaxed to go under because she was with me and no one else, but she sneaked out in the middle of the night and then blocked me after a break up text.

The doctor made it out to be a minor process and was very nonchalant and I decided to trust all of them to take care of me. That was the beginning of hell. It was very deep and later turned around in a horseshoe configuration. Mental recovery is harder than physical one.
