I am getting all four wisdom teeth out soon and just found out the oral surgeon who was going to do the procedure is refusing because he found out my weight. I am a super morbidly obese woman which apparently puts me at higher risk for complications while undergoing anesthesia. The dentists office told me they have another oral surgeon who will be willing to work with me so they rescheduled my appointment but now I’m so scared I don’t know what to do. It took so long for me to even gather up the courage to make the first appointment bc I’m so scared of doctors and I’ve never had any sort of surgery and now I’m so scared something is going to happen to me while I’m under. The only comfort I have is saying to myself “well If I die maybe it’ll be painless bc I’ll be sedated”. I don’t know if the office offers local anesthesia and even if they do the thought of being awake during the procedure is terrifying to me. I swear I’m so close to just canceling the whole thing indefinitely and I would if my wisdom teeth weren’t infected and causing me pain
