Hi Guys,  I'm scared.  I'm getting a D&C on Tuesday to get large polyp out of my uterus.  I'm so scared it's not funny.  Should I be??  I really like my gyno which is a good thing.  I get panic attacks for many years and I'm so scared to get one waiting to get my surgery.  I'm scared to get wheeled in the OR.  Gee Whiz, I'm a mess.  Should I be scared and nervous for next week?  My gyno said it will take an hour or so to get the polyp out because it's large.  Why couldn't I have a small one which takes less than 1/2 hour.  Any feedback would be appreciated.   Thank u in advance.  Laura/NJ   Having children never worked out for me.  Is it that I have a polyp because I didn't have children to get cleaned out at pregnancy????

Hi there,

This board isn't particularly fast moving at the moment, particularly with the holiday season coming up. Anyway, D&Cs are so commonly done these days that they are considered a relatively minor surgery. How did you get on with it?
