I can't remember about the clip so don't know if I had that or not but I do remember the blue dye. It can be a bit painful when they put it in but it's only momentary (and possibly anxiety doesn't help the pain, either). It's harmless and you'll wee blue after surgery (and if you're like me and the anaesthetic doesn't agree with you, what comes up will be blue as well which is even more disconcerting !)
We've all had the wobbles at one time or another and you can tell that the medical people are used to it by the proximity of the tissue boxes. If you're anxiety starts to get the better of you on the day of surgery, your anaesthetist may be able to give you something earlier to calm you down. It may be worth checking with your surgeon if you can, or with your breast care nurse - never had much to do with one of them so don't really know how far they go.
And don't worry about the questions to the forum... I doubt that you can ask more than I did!
