Anyone have a kid go through surgery?

We are just back from an appt. with a surgeon. My 3yo dd has a little soft lump on her throat that has been diagnosed as a thyroglossal cyst (a little tube from tongue to thyroid gland -- leftover from fetal development; they usually close up --that gets filled up with mucus and can become infected grow or cause other problems later in life). Seems like it will need to come out. It's a *minor* surgery done on an outpatient basis...

I am VERY scared about the whole idea of surgery -- never had one of my own and worry a great deal about anesthesia for my baby. Hoping someone has btdt and has words of wisdom. Thanks
