Ouch, I feel you. I had to have surgery for the exact same issue about a year an a half ago. The surgery wasn't bad, it was the aftercare. I hope you have someone who is willing to help you because the maintenance on the surgery wound requires you to put a lot of trust in someone you're comfortable with. I'm grateful I had my best friend and life partner there to help.
Anyway, I do wish you the best of luck, and hope you can get through it with meds.
