Current Events > Anyone experience anesthesia before?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Many times. I had two hernias and 5 cancer related surgeries in a span of just over a year. Nothing to it, really. Just be sure to drink a ton of water in the following days and get yourself a stool softener.

Really? It causes constipation? I wish they told me that, no wonder my terms have been hard as granate the past 2 days.

Lol...same thing happened to me a few weeks back. Was very anxious, but around a minute or so after they started the anesthesia I was knocked out. I also had my eyes closed so I cant even say the precise moment I lost consciousness.

I remember it not being like sleep. In sleep, even if you don't remember your dreams, you can have some sense of time passing.

When I was put under, I don't remember even existing. Just lost consciousness, then almost instantly I woke up after the surgery.

It's great. Don't have to sit their and wait metaphorically biting your nails.

You count back from 10, out at 7, then next thing you know you're in a wheelchair and being rolled out by a hot receptionist/nurse

I was put under general anesthesia for an eye surgery when I was a kid. I distinctly remember a cold feeling that kind of crawled up my arm from the IV site until it got to about my shoulder, and then I don't remember anything else after that point until I woke up after the surgery was done.

I remember telling the anesthesiologist that I'd last longer than 5 seconds, shit as soon as they put that stuff in my IV I was out, woke up in the recovery room. I haven't slept that good since I was a fetus, no memory whatsoever. I just woke up Rick Grimes in the bed wondering wtf happened.

The fact that Michael Jackson needed Propofol to fall asleep is crazy.

got out of surgery earlier, no complications, anesthesia knocked me out faster than last time.

I slept through the whole thing tbh.

I got asked to count back from 10 while they put a mask over me. Was out by 6 I think. Woke up maybe 20 minutes later (didn't feel any different to a normal nap), no issues at all.

Been put under twice. Once was to have 5 wisdom teeth extracted and 4 of them were impacted.

I remember "waking up" about an hour after the surgery passing a Sheetz and telling my driver "nah i'm good, I can't eat for a while."

Second time was for an upper GI scope and that one I was "back" quicker. Different anesthesia I guess. I still couldn't drive for that one but I knew what I was doing maybe 20 minutes after the procedure.

It's a weird thing, they told me I'd feel start feeling tired but I didn't feel anything and then in an instant I was waking up in the hospital bed.
