The sentence with ‘to go’ does not work.

Hi, Allifathima:

Would you mind my/me adding something?

1. Possessive forms (underlined) is formal; Objective forms (italisized) are conversational.
2. The preposition from can be omitted (especially in informal cases) in the sentence below:
   He stopped me (from) going.

 Thanks.
