Anesthesia

[HavocXphere]

Nope I have no source. One of the doctors at Netcare told me about that when my daughter went in for dental surgery a couple of years ago. So its very possible he might have just said it to calm us down or that someone is actively watching for electrical activity or what have you.

I've been under a few times in the last year and a bit. Nothing to worry about. For me, I can feel everything working and loosing control. I get a second to start to freak out, and then next thing I know, I wake up. Blank in between. The deeper I've been out (for ops) just means I take a while to wake up. Have the usual "being wheeled through" wakeup where I start to panic because I'm drowsy and don't feel in control, but then I am back asleep. Takes a day for me to normalize after ops, but after short stints like teeth/scopes I am back to normal with an hour.

I always wake up with dry lips & feeling like I want to throw up...but nothing comes out

I think that is a common side effect.

It comes from when the doctor teabags you while you under

Lying in hospital now, don't remember anything after the preop meds except the high was crazy for a few seconds then everything is just a blank.

Woke up, was talking *** to everyone (have no memory of this) then passed out again.

12/10 would do again.

Lasted 4 seconds according to the anesthetist

bwhaha...well I guess you got the same stuff as I did here:

e.g. One gave me a very powerful pre-op medication. Don't even recall being wheeled into the operating room - I'd say a good hour or so pre-op missing.

Was that St Mary's by chance?

Anyway...its quite a contrast. Other ones (e.g. Wilgers) don't really give heavy pre-op so I recall discussing the O2 measurement device with the anaesthetist (he kept repeating it measures O2 & I wanted to know sure but HOW - answer is laser)

At Rondebosch medical center. I was pretty confident I would be able to fight the anesthesia but I don't even remember counting backwards haha. I'm curious on where it falls if you had to compare highs/ strength of them to other drugs (ie meth)

I get a feeling of depression a few days after, Anxious ,,,, wake up in the middle of the night but it passes.

Anesthesia is nothing. Its like taking a strong sleeping pill and then waking up. Thats all. You mouth might be a bit dry though and your lips as well. Make sure you take lip balm along for afterwards to put on.
