Hi @flash11 ,
I can really relate to those feelings - I have 2 kids aged 3 and 11, and they've both had to have general anesthetics in their lives- my oldest has had around 6 now as she needs to have semi-regular procedures done under a general. I think some degree of worry is almost impossible to escape as a parent - we will always worry about our kids, and it can be a pretty helpless feeling knowing that they need to go under.
It sounds like she doesn't have any major risk factors for complications, but do you think having a chat to your surgeon and/ or the anesthetist about your concerns would help to calm your worries a bit? They can give you a good idea about what the level of risk is, and what they do to minimise it. I know in our case I have also been able to be with my kids in the theatre as they were put under, which helped make it a lot less distressing for them, and made me feel like I was doing all I could to comfort them. One piece of advice that I was given was to remember that our kids do pick up a lot on how we're feeling about something, so the more calm I was able to stay, the better she seemed to cope (this can be really hard to do, I know!).
Thinking of you -please keep us posted on how you get on 
Hi @flash11 ,
You sound like a wonderful and supportive mum - and I think your mum is spot on, paediatric anaethetists are amazing, and your daughter will be in really good hands. It's great to hear that you'll be able to have a chat with the anaethetist, I hope they'll be able to reassure you as well
I can completely understand how upsetting it can be to see your kids getting really agitated with they first put the gas on - the same thing happened with my daughter the first time she went under, and it was pretty awful to see as a mum. I did take comfort in the fact that she didn't remember a thing about it! And like your younger daughter mine bounced back really quickly - kids are pretty amazing like that
Keep us posted on how you get on, glad to hear you're feeling a bit better about it all.
