Question:
What does it feel like to be put under general anesthesia? Read on plz?
I am curious what it feels like right as your going out, is it like blacking out, fading away, etc... I am having anxiety over this and would like some answers from people who have experienced it!
Answers:
I've had it twice, and both times it was a pretty quick fading out. The anesthesia doc said "Okay now I want you to count backwards from 100" and I said "Okay, nnnn..." and that's all I remember! The second time he said "Okay I'm giving you something to make you sleep" and I said "Oh, wow, that feels..." and it was like a warm blanket just fell over me and off I went. Both times it was a very restful sleep. I woke up without any weird feeling or hangover or anything. Your anesthesia doctor is your guardian angel. While your surgeon is doing everything they need to do, your anesthesiologist is making sure you're okay, paying attention to every little thing about you on their monitor. Trust them; they are amazing. I wish you the best of luck.
