I had to go under twice in a span of less then a week!. The first time they forgot my chart so they couldn't give me anything for a few seconds after they woke me up!. Wasn't too bad but anyway they gave me morphine afterwards and was fine!. If anyone was likely to feel pain from surgery I would have(neurosurgery)!. Second time I don't even remember them waking me up!. Next thing I remembered was them taking me back to my room!. I don't think you are likely to remember them bringing you out, and don't think you are supposed to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
When yuo go under anasthesia, I'd say it's pretty pleasant!. Of course you'll be nervous, who isn't!? They will put the mask over your nose and mouth and tell you to breath deeply!. Then you'll start to feel light headed, and you're out!. Next thing you know, you're being woken up, and wheeled to the recovery room!. It's not all that bad!. Afterward!.!.!.you have toms pain, that's quite normal, but in the hospital, they give you really good stuff!. Then they'll send you home with like!.!. percocet, vicodan, something like that!. When you get into the recovery room, do NOT be afraid to ask for pain meds, or a bed pan, or Ice chips!.!.!. It'll go good!. Just try not to stress!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ah, when i was in 5th grade i had to get my tonsils out!. Trust me, the most pain you'll feel before the surgery is the prick of the IV needle, it's not that bad at all!. Then they put the little mask thing over your mouth and nose, tell you to breathe deeply, and before you know it, you're knocked out cold!. You wake up, your throat is a little bit sore, and you feel really fatigued!. It'll be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's not too bad the anaesthetic might smell/taste bad and you feel a little stomach sick when you wake up but they got med to fix that there's nothing to be afarid of I've had surgeries more then i can remember and they all ways turn out OK just go in positive and when it's all over you'll be back to your old selfWww@Answer-Health@Com
being put asleep is faster and easier than trying to fall asleep on your own!. and when you wake up it only feels like you've been asleep for a few seconds, also you may have a sore throat from the breathing tube being put down your throat, but a few popsicles will fix that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
When getting put to sleep it feels litterally like you blinked your eyes and you woke up!. You don't dream or anything and it feels like the blink of an eye!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
