Just had surgery today under general anesthesia. I was extremely worried about being unconscious. When I woke up,I did not remember a thing. I was under for over two hours. But it felt like five minutes to me. My surgery went extremely well,and I would tell anyone who is getting surgery not to worry at all. I felt like it was the best sleep of my life. 😊
I personally remember feeling quite emotional, tired and discomfort. I was so tired when the nurse gently woke me up but I remember being comforted because she was singing "Over the Rainbow". I'm not sure if she was sing to me or to herself but it made me feel safe.
I just had a surgery under general anesthesia and all i want to say was i was extremely worried before like not even caring for the actual surgery itself and all i can say is that it is an extremely easy experience. I got into the operating room very nervous and I remember then telling me to breath from the mask and i just kept repeating the word sleep in my head and the next second im in recovery. They had told me i would have burning in my arm as they were injecting the medication but it wasnt anything like that it was actually a nice feeling sort of like a little buzz going up the arm and then out. Nothing else. So if your going under anesthesia anytime soon trust me, do not worry because it is very easy. I hope this helps!
That’s exactly what happens to me lol i was terrified but all that happened was I closed my eyes for one second and the next I was awake in the recovery room and asking when I was getting the surgery but I was already over! Haha
I am about to get my gallbladder removed this coming Saturday and what I am frightened about is me being put to sleep. Watching this and seeing all the comments made me cry and happy and less scared. Thank you so much for this video and thank you to all the people who shared their experiences.
this is really great, im going under the knife in a couple weeks for thyroid cancer and ive never been put under anesthesia before, this is a great eye opener
I have a lot to say as I watch all these medical procedures and see all the different diseases and ailments. Like tumors or cancer etc , I pray healing in jesus name for everyone on here may they all be receive the miraculous touch from are savior . Amen
I’m actually horrified of being willfully put down, even if temporary. I’m very grateful that we can have surgeries and opportunities not previously afforded to us, but still. I can’t seem to shake my apprehension and fear of surgery. Even if it meant life and death. Thank you all for the work you all do.
I've had several surgeries. It's by far the best sleep you'll ever experience tbh. I don't know about anyone else. I don't dream when under. You'll wake up feeling weak & still extremely tired after a while you'll be wide awake though
@@DedraAmbroseandSnow As someone who used to be insanely scared of being put to sleep, I can vouch for everything you said. Had my appendectomy done recently and one second I’m lying on the OR table staring at the ceiling and at all the medical professionals around me, next second I wake up in the recovery room. It’s sorta like fast travel in a video game lol
First thing I said after coming out of anesthesia and opening my eyes... Me: *sees nurse with long blonde hair* “Wow your hair is gorgeous!” Nurse: “Aww, thanks dear. That’s so nice of you to say!” *Doctor walks in* Me: *giggling* Doctor: “Glad to see you’re feeling well.” Me: *still giggling* “Hehe, Doctor, I’m sorry but did you know you’re bald?!” 🤦🏼♀️ At least the nurse was laughing.
If anyones afraid of general anaesthetic, don't be, its definitely in the top 10 naps of my life and 1000x better than just an epidural and being fully awake, trust me.
I remember after my procedure I was still kinda out of it, I told the nurse I had to go potty, she said she'd help. I very seriously told her that I do this all the time by myself at home. She said I must be fun to go out with when I've had a few drinks.
Got my endoscopy yesterday. Very nervous was on the verge of tears and breathing erratically. GI doctor even said "you're nervous aren't you" I said yes and bit down on the mouth piece. Next thing I knew I was in the recovery room. ANESTHESIA IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. I literally freaked out all day because of it and it was very peaceful.
I plan to do a colonoscopy and am terrified of being under sedation. I heard that it isn't too bad, and you won't remember, but I am still terrified to be in that state.
Anesthesia is necessary and works well most of the time but there are inherent risks, especially general anesthesia. Thank God for the nurses and anesthesiologists that do such important work.
Left 5 minutes ago and felt great. If your scared don’t be. It’s like nothing ur up and then your out in a total of like ten seconds. GREAT EXPERIENCE 🤩🤩
Im having ankle surgery in a week im TERRIFIED! I have really bad emetophobia and im so scared, Ill let yall know how it is cuz i need it on both ankles:( I have so much anxiety ab it any tips?
I had my very first op last week and I was a nervous wreck, fearing that I would wake up during my procedure or feeling the pain. I kid you not, it felt as if I was in theatre for 2 minutes because I was OUT and next thing I’m waking up in the recovery room. It really amazes me how it works!
My mother was going though some sort of mri and had to be quite. She had claustrophobia and was terrified. Her and the nurse were silent when she got a notification from a game and her purse moo’ed
Its pretty easy. When I had surgery, they put a mask on my face, and then told me to breathe. There were a lot of doctors in the room, which made me feel safe. They then told me to count back from ten, and when I reached 8, I woke up in the recovery room.
I just got that repair today and I couldn't stop crying when I woke up but I don't remember much that happened I don't even remember them rolling me out of the hospital bed thingy lol
I had conscious of my words even after the Anesthesia! I’m back! I came here around a year ago because I was scared. But it wasn’t scary at all. The only part that hurt, and it wasn’t even a lot, was the IV! Getting Anesthesia is like blinking. One second and you’re back up and running.
I only went through anesthesia once when I was like 4, I barely remember it. I just remember there were dinosaur toys in the waiting room and I named them.
I don't even remember passing out tbh. I remember staring up at like 5 different people standing around the hospital bed, just staring at me for like 5 seconds like ".....any second now" and that's all I remember, so I guess I knocked out 😂
@@nritti_ lol 😂 I'm alive, my doctors were super nice, and when I got the anesthesia i fell asleep really fast and after the doctors woke my up they made sure I wasn't in any pain and I didn't throw up or get dizzy or anything bit if you do they are able to give you stuff so you don't throw up😊
After getting my wisdom teeth pulled my dad and the nurse were walking me at my sides holding my arms. The nurse asked “how are you feeling?” And my reply was “like I’m getting arrested, what did I do?” It was a fun car ride home
I’ve had my wisdom teeth and tonsils removed. Both times, I was put under by anesthesia. What’s weird is I dimly remember “waking up” from both operations. It felt like a dream, but it was real. After my wisdom teeth were yanked, I started singing Hamilton and the doctors kept telling me to be quieter. After my tonsils were removed, I started crying and calling out for my mom, who drove me to the surgery and was sitting in the waiting room. Anesthesia is a very interesting experience.
Luan Loud Fan how long did it feel like you were under? I have a horrible gag reflex and I’m having to be put under for getting a cap on my back tooth. I just want it to go by fast 😂
SamuelPiece if this info is still relevant to you, they gave me some stuff throught the iv to make me relaxed, then they put the anesthesia and i was knocked out. What felt like a second later, I woke up feeling extra tired. Gag reflexed won’t matter because your body is completely knocked out. You can’t cough, sneeze, do anything when you’re put under.
I had full dental surgery under general anesthesia and was able to get through it after a while but my body had stored so much but i had slept after when i had gotten home i was able to sleep deep with by mouth going through minimal blood loss . IM still having some pain and so I was able to take my medications that i was perscribed to me when I had gotten home I still have to take the antibiotics and the pain pills .
Hey guys, I was watching these videos for months before I had a massive scalp lipoma removed from top of my head 7cmx7cmx2cm deep. I was terrified of being put to sleep, I went into the pre op room, this is where my nurse put my iv in, gave me pain killers and oxy via pills, once this was done my Anastasia tech came in and talked to me, informed me of everything he was Gona do: asked me if I get nervous which I said yes too. He then gave me Versed (happy drug) via my iv which you can’t feel it being injected. This made me feel really good and calmed me down a lot. After this I lost track of time and memory of the next 25 minutes before they wheeled me to my OR room. Next thing i remember is waking up in recovery. (Feeling absolutely amazing), it was like the best high I have ever had without any bad side effects. Once that was over they gave me juice and food and made sure I could pee & then sent me on my way home. The scalp lipoma removal recovery is not bad at all. I’d say at worst was a 4/10 pain. I’m not even using pain killers they prescribed me and I’m 3 days post op
idk why i'm watching this. i've been under anesthesia before and i don't remember anything. january 13th i'm being put under for some major dental work. like top teeth removal, three bottom teeth removal, and a couple fillings and possibly a root canal but idk if that's happening 100% . the worst for me is getting the iv bc i really hate needles and the pain they give. i was put under for having my wisdom teeth out before so idk why i feel nervous about this. i'll also have dissolvable stitches...and i feel like i'll only be in pain for a day idk. i don't know if i'm getting pain killers even. but if not it's good that tylenol exists. wish me luck. if anyone truly cares i'll gladly do an update afterwards.
I did a breast biopsy yesterday and I was given anesthesia. I have no recollection of the procedure. I woke up in the recovery room it felt like I was asleep for hours. I felt relaxed and rested because I was sleep deprived for months so I was happy about that. It was my very first time being admitted in a hospital or having any medical procedures done so I was very nervous at first but trust me it’s not that bad.
omg y’all I’m doing teeth surgery in 3 days (not pulling out teeth) removing an object from my gums and I will be put to sleep, I am TERRIFIED that I will become aware. I have been put to sleep once before, but I was too little to remember it, can y’all explain the process?
I was very nervous but tried to keep as relaxed as possible. I tasted a slight metallic taste in my mouth creep up in my cheek and then boom... I was out like a light. Didn't even know I had drifted off and then found myself in the recovery room. When I come to, I was so comfortable, refreshed and felt like I had 8 hours sleep, when in fact I was only under for 30 mins. So please don't worry. Whenever I have a bad nights sleep genuinely I always think of the time I was under and how nice it felt after x 😊
I had a heart surgery the other day and all i remember is the surgeons saying they are gonna give me medicine then i was waking up with a small headache, feeling really sick and dizzy. It gets better as the day goes on but the dizzyness and sickness stayed for a day or so for me
I’m more scared of what i’m going to say after I wake up and not having any control or memory of what shit I’ll say, and expose myself to my parents, than my operation itself. 💀
I went under anesthesia and literally one of the best naps in my life but I felt the pain of my surgery afterwards tho 😭😂 Btw wasn’t even a nap I just blacked out like I was gone absolute nothingness but don’t be scared..
just had a right knee manipulation and scope. They did a nerve block before the put me under and they gave me a slight sleepy stuff to make sure i didn’t feel that nerve block. I passed out before they even did the nerve block. best sleep ive had since my first surgery december 10th. dont stress about it. just know your gonna have some really good sleep. i always wake up scared. specially this morning because none of my family could be back with me so i woke up with no one near me. but good luck to everyone!
I had emergency brain surgery. Two surgeries to be exact. One for obviously emergency and second for other personal reasons... but all I remember in second was counting down from 10 and I don’t remember reaching ten lol... but I woke up with a whopping headache ugh... but that’s my experience of it. I only was comfortable going consciously through the second surgery because I had a crush on my neurosurgeon lol! So that helped.
I have to get fibroid removal surgery in a few weeks and I don't know if I'll be fully asleep or not. Still, I'm nervous. It's hard to find veins to stick a needle in for me but my hand. It's been jabbed so many times due to blood work that it's starting to bruise. But I guess it's best to have it remove since it's like 13 inches and it's moving my stomach and one of my ovaries.
People worried about it,don’t be,when I had some,I was out a minute later,then I woke up in the recovery room,everything went well,this is coming from a 13 year old
getting surgery tmrw and im so stressed, what if something happens and i dont wake up? (alot of people might say i obviously wont, i just like to overthink lol)
I'm getting dental surgery tomorrow through sedation and I'm nervous as hell. Apparently, I'm gonna be couscous during the procedure but won't feel anything. At this point, it's not even the surgery itself that's making me nervous. It's the IV. Those hurt like hell. Can't wait for it to be over.
I am also getting oral surgery. They are gonna give me laughing gas so I won’t feel anything, just feel the pressure. I have impacted canines, and I’m a bit nervous eeee
I have a question what do you see while under anesthesia do you dream or is it all blackness does it seem like you have just passed on from this world or like what do you see for those few hours
You don’t dream, once the anesthesia starts, you pretty much just go dark, next thing you know you are starting to wake up which you think that was quick but you were out like how ever long the surgery is. I get the sedation next week and they said you are very relaxed and not put all the way out. I’d rather have it that way, but not sure if it’s going to seem that quick or not. My surgery is supposed to last 5-6 hours
I remember when I was coming to from anesthesia, I could hear everything but I wasn’t awake. I started shaking and I was sooo SOOO cold and I remember the nurse saying “are you cold sweetie?” 🤣 they covered me up and another nurse was like “she tensed up didn’t she” and I woke up right after. It was a trip
I had it today First lots of air pressure in the mask Then stinky smell Then the sleeping gas Then this start to become blurry and your ear start ringing and echoing the voice Then your deaf and can’t hear Then your a sleep
You’ll be fine I had two major surgeries and I had to be intubated etc , it was nerves at first of course , but once they start filling your veins with the medicine you’ll feel yourself going to sleep no matter how strong you are , you can’t defeat it lol next thing you knw your waking up like what happened? It literally feels like you were out a moment, I woke up two days later , tho , only scary thing was when they said they had a hard time waking me up , it makes me really sleep I guess lol . The only thing that bothers me is the feeling of being that high . I hate that like drugged out feeling lol but it’s absolutely necessary. That’s the worst part to me , the wooziness when you wake up . But I was glad to see I was still here. I was really hungry when I woke up lol I asked for food . They were like yep she’s doing fine !
why was anaesthetic gas stopped? i preferred gas to needles, is the gas bad or something? i didnt have no issues with been gased out before. last time i had the needle i woke up after op unable to move my body nurse wanted me off the op bed and on to the ward bed "but i cant move" i couldnt do it they had to lift me off, it was only a temporary issue i got back to normal shortly after.
I don't even remember being in the operating room when i had my surgery. I don't remember all that counting down stuff people are talking about. The last thing i remember was the doctor putting something in my IV that was supposed to help me relax apparently while i was in the hallway, I'm guessing that was the thing that caused amnesia.
Oh god I have my ingrown toenail surgery where they are removing my entire toenail and root so it doesn’t grow back because ingrowing is a recurring problem for me I’m so scared
I did this yesterday for my ptosis surgery and it felt kinda good tbh 😂 my dreams were very random though, I started to wake up at the end of the procedure and once I realised what was happening I just got back to sleep.
I had an operation on my shoulder today. I had the weirdest sensation in my bottom as soon as it was administered! Has anyone else had such a sensation! It was like my insides were sucking itself inwards.
I would ask for general off the bat, I have been weird about it ever since I woke up half way through a bladder correction when I was 7. No i was not in any pain, just couldn't move anything and felt a poke every now and then, for anyone else wanting to know what its like, imagine waking up, but your eves are closed, you cant move anything, you dont feel any pain, and there is a massive straw like thing (breathing tube) going from your mouth to your lungs and it feels very unplesant, if you have any questions just feel free to reply to this comment, i will try to get beck to you as this is a topic a lot of people find interesting
I just went through surgery about 5 hours ago for a ruptured appendix. And I don’t remember anything at all . I only felt a bit of pain in my stomach . But nothing like the pain I was in before the surgery. Man when appendicitis sets in that’s the worse ever !
Is it possible that you can say things that you're meant to hide after waking up from Anesthesia? Or just spit some random words? I'm scared to snitch myself
might depend on the amount of anesthesia you're put under and for how long, but when i woke up from general anesthesia, i was just so exhausted and my throat was so hoarse because of intubation, talking surely was the last thing i wanted to do at all. i was under for about 2 hours, and i took an hour to wake up, didn't feel like snitching on myself at all, just felt like closing my eyes and merging with my bed lol
10 weeks post taper from diazepa m. Is it safe to use anesthesia that works on the gaba a receptors as mine are downregulated . Please tell me are there alternatives like dissociatives or opoids only as don't want to go into withdrawal.
Ive never seen somone blur the anesthesia tape before- I can see the idea of not wanting to show the word "fentanyl" written out- but its actually very disconcerting because it looks like the syringes are not properly labeled- especially the benzodiazapine one- it just looks like orange tape.
For nausea and vomiting they can give you medications. Talk the the Anesthesiologist and he or she will ask you if you are allergic to anything before giving you anything. I wake up nauseated unless they give me medicine for that in my IV. but that medicine (it may be different for you) makes me feel not at all nauseated. Don't be afraid to ask for it if you have woke up nauseated before from anesthesia. Nausea is not fun!!
Had surgery on my right thigh as there was an infected wound yesterday. While I was in operating room, doctor told me about anaesthesia and were putting you to sleep. The next moment the procedure was completed and I'm like WTF? I woke up and everything seems normal.
Just got all my wisdom teeth out, two of which were cut out. Barely felt the prick of the needle. Oral surgeon said I will be out in 15 seconds, that’s how long it takes to reach my brain. Suddenly I said it feels like I’m super drunk, because I became slightly dizzy and then I was waking up. Upon waking apparently I said I want to take my teeth with me so they gave them to me to take home lol. I felt funny walking immediately after but no drowsy effects or silly ness soon as I got into the car for my ride. Now I’ve been to three shops and told I look great. Didn’t need gauze after three hours. I’m 35. I’m still half numb because he said I will be for 12 hours but feeling great. I was shaking with anxiety on the way there and I feel that was the worst part of the whole thing. It was a breeze. Nothing to be scared of. I’d do it again no problem if I had to.

I am as well! Always been a fear of mine! But next week I have no choice to be out under for a procedure to avoid cancer! I’m sooo terrified 😭😭
@@dawnwaters544 how did that go? Hopefully everything is okay.
who else is freaking out about a procedure they have and going under anesthesia 😼
I'm scared I am going to start saying inappropriate things in front of my parents
I’m gonna snitch on myself I just know it
@@aaravmaheshwari3733 yes yes same
Me
Currently about to go under 😞
First thing I said after coming out of anesthesia and opening my eyes...
Me: *sees nurse with long blonde hair* “Wow your hair is gorgeous!”
Nurse: “Aww, thanks dear. That’s so nice of you to say!”
*Doctor walks in*
Me: *giggling*
Doctor: “Glad to see you’re feeling well.”
Me: *still giggling* “Hehe, Doctor, I’m sorry but did you know you’re bald?!” 🤦🏼♀️
At least the nurse was laughing.
I'm wondering, are you consious of what you're saying? Like can you control it or is your filter gone?
Megacon I think it depends how much they give you
Otaku Cat I think it’s similar to being drunk
Sub for no reason lol
Hello...
Can u plzz tell me about the complications related to intubation and extubation procedure

We are glad you're doing well.
General and sedation are 2 different things...General is the scariest..endo are usually sedation...
I plan to do a colonoscopy and am terrified of being under sedation. I heard that it isn't too bad, and you won't remember, but I am still terrified to be in that state.
Anesthesia is necessary and works well most of the time but there are inherent risks, especially general anesthesia. Thank God for the nurses and anesthesiologists that do such important work.
I have a fear of anesthesia awareness 😰
Sky Barry me too, and im having surgery next week 😔
simplyhails good luck! I hope it goes well

I had my very first op last week and I was a nervous wreck, fearing that I would wake up during my procedure or feeling the pain. I kid you not, it felt as if I was in theatre for 2 minutes because I was OUT and next thing I’m waking up in the recovery room. It really amazes me how it works!
We're thinking of you, Britney.
My mother was going though some sort of mri and had to be quite. She had claustrophobia and was terrified. Her and the nurse were silent when she got a notification from a game and her purse moo’ed
Thank you this really helped me prepare for my wisdom teeth extraction
A Donaldson how did it go ?
I got 4 wisdom teeth removed with just local anesthesia, it hurt really bad!
Its pretty easy. When I had surgery, they put a mask on my face, and then told me to breathe. There were a lot of doctors in the room, which made me feel safe. They then told me to count back from ten, and when I reached 8, I woke up in the recovery room.
Yeah it’s kinda weird how your hearing crashes and lags right? And fingers loose feeel
I’m scared for mine
I didn’t even get to start my countdown 😭
I loved waking up from my Hernia repair surgery, one of the best feelings of my life, no joke
I just got that repair today and I couldn't stop crying when I woke up but I don't remember much that happened I don't even remember them rolling me out of the hospital bed thingy lol
Mark Mullins omg ikr !! i just did mine yesterday
What type of anesthesia? IV Sedation with local or General anesthesia? I HATE fighting to wake and dread my upcoming umbilical hernia surgery.
why was it your best feeling?
I have one more day and then I have my first surgery in the morning. Super nervous, they’re removing a gland from my neck. Wish me luck!
I hope it went well!
How was it
Why do I find myself watching these video's?
Cz they're so cool
I had conscious of my words even after the Anesthesia!
I’m back! I came here around a year ago because I was scared. But it wasn’t scary at all. The only part that hurt, and it wasn’t even a lot, was the IV! Getting Anesthesia is like blinking. One second and you’re back up and running.
I only went through anesthesia once when I was like 4, I barely remember it. I just remember there were dinosaur toys in the waiting room and I named them.
I don't even remember passing out tbh. I remember staring up at like 5 different people standing around the hospital bed, just staring at me for like 5 seconds like ".....any second now" and that's all I remember, so I guess I knocked out 😂
Getting all 4 wisdom teeth and my two bottom molars out wish me luck !!!
Sameee
How did it go? I'm getting mine out in 2 weeks and I'm terrified.
FakeHoeSimmer did you have your surgery? How was it/what do you remember?

@@nritti_ lol 😂 I'm alive, my doctors were super nice, and when I got the anesthesia i fell asleep really fast and after the doctors woke my up they made sure I wasn't in any pain and I didn't throw up or get dizzy or anything bit if you do they are able to give you stuff so you don't throw up😊
@@LA-yq4ex I'm so sorry I didn't see this until now, but I hope everything went well for you😊
SUPERGIRL44 how does it feel though to go under it, and like does time pass or did you just blink and it was over?
After getting my wisdom teeth pulled my dad and the nurse were walking me at my sides holding my arms. The nurse asked “how are you feeling?” And my reply was “like I’m getting arrested, what did I do?” It was a fun car ride home
I’ve had my wisdom teeth and tonsils removed. Both times, I was put under by anesthesia. What’s weird is I dimly remember “waking up” from both operations. It felt like a dream, but it was real. After my wisdom teeth were yanked, I started singing Hamilton and the doctors kept telling me to be quieter. After my tonsils were removed, I started crying and calling out for my mom, who drove me to the surgery and was sitting in the waiting room. Anesthesia is a very interesting experience.
We're thinking of you.
Why am I so scared of surgery I’m scared to waking up while they’re opening me up it’s scary feeling i never had surgery I’m very scared
I remember being put under.
One minute I was there, the next minute I wasn't.
Luan Loud Fan how long did it feel like you were under? I have a horrible gag reflex and I’m having to be put under for getting a cap on my back tooth. I just want it to go by fast 😂
Did you dream?
Snuckable when i was put under i didnt dream, if that helps any.
SamuelPiece if this info is still relevant to you, they gave me some stuff throught the iv to make me relaxed, then they put the anesthesia and i was knocked out. What felt like a second later, I woke up feeling extra tired. Gag reflexed won’t matter because your body is completely knocked out. You can’t cough, sneeze, do anything when you’re put under.
@@samuel-mx3oq im late but also.. you usually dont eat or drink anything for a while after so your stomach is empty and reduces gagging
It’s funny how I’ve had five surgeries as a kid and it never bothered me. Now that I’m older, I get more nervous.
That’s cause when we get older we have more secrets and we finna snitch on ourselves
Am having a leg surgery on Friday and am 10 and am scared that i might wake up during surgery or they might give me to much and I won’t wake up
Hope you’re okay 🙂
I had full dental surgery under general anesthesia and was able to get through it after a while but my body had stored so much but i had slept after when i had gotten home i was able to sleep deep with by mouth going through minimal blood loss . IM still having some pain and so I was able to take my medications that i was perscribed to me when I had gotten home I still have to take the antibiotics and the pain pills .
I backed out today last second hate the thought of been put to sleep going for a local in two week
Sadly im getting my tooth token out but it’s not even my wisdom tooth it’s my tooth in front of my wisdom took😟it’s broken........I hate sour patch
LZR_Nessa How was it ?
@Peppa Pig I was awake too😩 I screamed because I could feel it being pulled out
Hey guys, I was watching these videos for months before I had a massive scalp lipoma removed from top of my head 7cmx7cmx2cm deep. I was terrified of being put to sleep, I went into the pre op room, this is where my nurse put my iv in, gave me pain killers and oxy via pills, once this was done my Anastasia tech came in and talked to me, informed me of everything he was Gona do: asked me if I get nervous which I said yes too. He then gave me Versed (happy drug) via my iv which you can’t feel it being injected. This made me feel really good and calmed me down a lot. After this I lost track of time and memory of the next 25 minutes before they wheeled me to my OR room. Next thing i remember is waking up in recovery. (Feeling absolutely amazing), it was like the best high I have ever had without any bad side effects. Once that was over they gave me juice and food and made sure I could pee & then sent me on my way home. The scalp lipoma removal recovery is not bad at all. I’d say at worst was a 4/10 pain. I’m not even using pain killers they prescribed me and I’m 3 days post op
We're so glad to hear you're doing well. Best wishes to you.
idk why i'm watching this. i've been under anesthesia before and i don't remember anything. january 13th i'm being put under for some major dental work. like top teeth removal, three bottom teeth removal, and a couple fillings and possibly a root canal but idk if that's happening 100% . the worst for me is getting the iv bc i really hate needles and the pain they give. i was put under for having my wisdom teeth out before so idk why i feel nervous about this. i'll also have dissolvable stitches...and i feel like i'll only be in pain for a day idk. i don't know if i'm getting pain killers even. but if not it's good that tylenol exists. wish me luck. if anyone truly cares i'll gladly do an update afterwards.
an introvert I hope everything goes well!!!
How does it feel to be put under ?
brelynn the minecraftian how’d it go? Read your comment ironically on the date you had your procedure.
brelynn the introvert how was your surgery? What do you remember?
I did a breast biopsy yesterday and I was given anesthesia. I have no recollection of the procedure. I woke up in the recovery room it felt like I was asleep for hours. I felt relaxed and rested because I was sleep deprived for months so I was happy about that. It was my very first time being admitted in a hospital or having any medical procedures done so I was very nervous at first but trust me it’s not that bad.
Had this for my cardioversion. Very quick and painless.
I'm getting my tonsils out in April and I'm getting knocked out for it and I'm so scared but so excited because this will be my first surgery.
How’d it go? How was the anesthesia?
omg y’all I’m doing teeth surgery in 3 days (not pulling out teeth) removing an object from my gums and I will be put to sleep, I am TERRIFIED that I will become aware. I have been put to sleep once before, but I was too little to remember it, can y’all explain the process?
I'm getting dental surgery tomorrow. Getting sedated for the procedure. Holy I'm nervous. Hope yours went well.
I was very nervous but tried to keep as relaxed as possible. I tasted a slight metallic taste in my mouth creep up in my cheek and then boom... I was out like a light. Didn't even know I had drifted off and then found myself in the recovery room. When I come to, I was so comfortable, refreshed and felt like I had 8 hours sleep, when in fact I was only under for 30 mins. So please don't worry. Whenever I have a bad nights sleep genuinely I always think of the time I was under and how nice it felt after x 😊
Best wishes to you, Kloe.
I've been put under 5 X's I remember that intense burn pulsating through my hand, then I was out. Good ol' Milk of Amnesia.
I'm very high risk with anesthetics so I have to be monitored closely
Same here.
Thanks, This eases my nervousness about surgerys. That I need to get done.
My grandpa beat cancer at md Anderson his name is Marvin collins
I had a heart surgery the other day and all i remember is the surgeons saying they are gonna give me medicine then i was waking up with a small headache, feeling really sick and dizzy. It gets better as the day goes on but the dizzyness and sickness stayed for a day or so for me
We're sorry to hear this, Ashdon. If the problem persists, we encourage you to talk to your care team about your concerns.
I’m more scared of what i’m going to say after I wake up and not having any control or memory of what shit I’ll say, and expose myself to my parents, than my operation itself. 💀
Ong
im going to get mine out soon, can i go to sleep during the operation
I went under anesthesia and literally one of the best naps in my life but I felt the pain of my surgery afterwards tho 😭😂
Btw wasn’t even a nap I just blacked out like I was gone absolute nothingness but don’t be scared..
What was the surgery
Basically died
@@nyghtryder3446 lmfaoo bro that’s literally what it sounds like
Literally how I felt 😂
Did u feel anything during it I’m sooo scared to get 3 teeth pulled
I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow. I'm kinda nervous not gonna lie
How did it go? I’m supposed to get mine out soon and I’m so nervous. I feel like I’m gonna snitch on myself and my siblings
Does it hurt
I’m getting wisdom teeth removed and my jaw is being surgically moved forward. Tomorrow. I’m nervous too
just had a right knee manipulation and scope. They did a nerve block before the put me under and they gave me a slight sleepy stuff to make sure i didn’t feel that nerve block. I passed out before they even did the nerve block. best sleep ive had since my first surgery december 10th. dont stress about it. just know your gonna have some really good sleep. i always wake up scared. specially this morning because none of my family could be back with me so i woke up with no one near me. but good luck to everyone!
Tracey, we're sorry to hear this. You're in our thoughts.
Did it this year and I am planning to do it again for fun. Best feeling ever!
Best wishes to you.
The heck? Anyway good luck
I'm having surgery on Tuesday wish me luck
satisfyingslime1454 how did it go?
In the patient bill of rights can I demand general anesthesia for a bone biopsy? If so, can they refuse?
Theresa, we encourage you to talk to your care team so they can address your concerns. Best wishes to you.
I had emergency brain surgery. Two surgeries to be exact. One for obviously emergency and second for other personal reasons... but all I remember in second was counting down from 10 and I don’t remember reaching ten lol... but I woke up with a whopping headache ugh... but that’s my experience of it. I only was comfortable going consciously through the second surgery because I had a crush on my neurosurgeon lol! So that helped.
I woke up from anesthesia and got mad I fell asleep, I yelled “why y’all let me fall alseep?, i missed my surgery” 😂😂😂
We're sending positive vibes your way, Phill.
I have to get fibroid removal surgery in a few weeks and I don't know if I'll be fully asleep or not. Still, I'm nervous. It's hard to find veins to stick a needle in for me but my hand. It's been jabbed so many times due to blood work that it's starting to bruise. But I guess it's best to have it remove since it's like 13 inches and it's moving my stomach and one of my ovaries.
We're sorry to hear this. Best wishes to you.
@@mdanderson Thanks.
People worried about it,don’t be,when I had some,I was out a minute later,then I woke up in the recovery room,everything went well,this is coming from a 13 year old
im 13 too
im getting my surgery soon (i still have some time) but im already so nervous :(
getting surgery tmrw and im so stressed, what if something happens and i dont wake up? (alot of people might say i obviously wont, i just like to overthink lol)
Just had surgery thank god it went well.
Damn, this was 15 years ago.
I'm getting dental surgery tomorrow through sedation and I'm nervous as hell. Apparently, I'm gonna be couscous during the procedure but won't feel anything. At this point, it's not even the surgery itself that's making me nervous. It's the IV. Those hurt like hell. Can't wait for it to be over.
I am also getting oral surgery. They are gonna give me laughing gas so I won’t feel anything, just feel the pressure. I have impacted canines, and I’m a bit nervous eeee
the ivs are nothing
They are fine imo, but having them in for days on end is soooooooo annoying
2:56
Yup did not make any decisions during the first 24 hours of waking up from anesthesia
I had sedation when I had eye surgery, also when I had a endoscopy and a colonospecy.
I have a question what do you see while under anesthesia do you dream or is it all blackness does it seem like you have just passed on from this world or like what do you see for those few hours
You don’t dream, once the anesthesia starts, you pretty much just go dark, next thing you know you are starting to wake up which you think that was quick but you were out like how ever long the surgery is. I get the sedation next week and they said you are very relaxed and not put all the way out. I’d rather have it that way, but not sure if it’s going to seem that quick or not. My surgery is supposed to last 5-6 hours
I remember when I was coming to from anesthesia, I could hear everything but I wasn’t awake. I started shaking and I was sooo SOOO cold and I remember the nurse saying “are you cold sweetie?” 🤣 they covered me up and another nurse was like “she tensed up didn’t she” and I woke up right after. It was a trip
Hello...
I have a question...
When the doctors were removing tubes...u had some problems ???
Plzz ans
Are there any complications
They have an amazing anesthesia team.
I had it today
First lots of air pressure in the mask
Then stinky smell
Then the sleeping gas
Then this start to become blurry and your ear start ringing and echoing the voice
Then your deaf and can’t hear
Then your a sleep
You’ll be fine I had two major surgeries and I had to be intubated etc , it was nerves at first of course , but once they start filling your veins with the medicine you’ll feel yourself going to sleep no matter how strong you are , you can’t defeat it lol next thing you knw your waking up like what happened? It literally feels like you were out a moment, I woke up two days later , tho , only scary thing was when they said they had a hard time waking me up , it makes me really sleep I guess lol . The only thing that bothers me is the feeling of being that high . I hate that like drugged out feeling lol but it’s absolutely necessary. That’s the worst part to me , the wooziness when you wake up . But I was glad to see I was still here. I was really hungry when I woke up lol I asked for food . They were like yep she’s doing fine !
why was anaesthetic gas stopped? i preferred gas to needles, is the gas bad or something? i didnt have no issues with been gased out before. last time i had the needle i woke up after op unable to move my body nurse wanted me off the op bed and on to the ward bed "but i cant move" i couldnt do it they had to lift me off, it was only a temporary issue i got back to normal shortly after.
I don't even remember being in the operating room when i had my surgery. I don't remember all that counting down stuff people are talking about. The last thing i remember was the doctor putting something in my IV that was supposed to help me relax apparently while i was in the hallway, I'm guessing that was the thing that caused amnesia.
i just had a colonoscopy a week ago and was administered a mac. i cant imagine the process being comfortable but the mac made the sleep wonderful.
Is this the stuff that makes people act all weird? I’m getting my wisdom teeth pulled and I don’t want to be all weird
stufflyD bruh and the thing is you can say stuff that you don’t want to say like secrets and shit that’s why I’m scared of bruh
That’s a different type of sedation that’s laughing gas
Xxxgaming3j what’s it like numbing wise? I’m being IV sedated. But do I feel the dentists giving me local Anesthetic?
stufflyD i’m getting mine pulled next friday and they’re gonna put me under ... i want to know what to expect when i go down
Duhvinshi how did it go
Oh god I have my ingrown toenail surgery where they are removing my entire toenail and root so it doesn’t grow back because ingrowing is a recurring problem for me I’m so scared
Omg that sucks!
hell no i’m not getting the surgery anymore
I did this yesterday for my ptosis surgery and it felt kinda good tbh 😂 my dreams were very random though, I started to wake up at the end of the procedure and once I realised what was happening I just got back to sleep.
Oh it's really not that bad. Just some happy meds and you don't even know how deep they cut you open!
Is it normal to not be able to walk straight afterwards
Yes BC you're kinda drunk
I had an operation on my shoulder today. I had the weirdest sensation in my bottom as soon as it was administered! Has anyone else had such a sensation! It was like my insides were sucking itself inwards.
im terrified im getting dental surgery and i don’t like things on my face and i wanna do the IV. not the face mask thing, but idk if i have an option
One word: amazing.
I would ask for general off the bat, I have been weird about it ever since I woke up half way through a bladder correction when I was 7. No i was not in any pain, just couldn't move anything and felt a poke every now and then, for anyone else wanting to know what its like, imagine waking up, but your eves are closed, you cant move anything, you dont feel any pain, and there is a massive straw like thing (breathing tube) going from your mouth to your lungs and it feels very unplesant, if you have any questions just feel free to reply to this comment, i will try to get beck to you as this is a topic a lot of people find interesting
I just went through surgery about 5 hours ago for a ruptured appendix. And I don’t remember anything at all . I only felt a bit of pain in my stomach . But nothing like the pain I was in before the surgery. Man when appendicitis sets in that’s the worse ever !
Katie, we're sorry to hear this. Best wishes to you.
@@mdanderson npc
What was the surgery
GUYS, I HAD ANESTHESIA TWICE THIS SUMMER AND ITS NOT THAT BAD
We're so glad you're doing well.
I getting one tooth out soon im scard like does it hurt
We're thinking of you.
Is it possible that you can say things that you're meant to hide after waking up from Anesthesia? Or just spit some random words? I'm scared to snitch myself
might depend on the amount of anesthesia you're put under and for how long, but when i woke up from general anesthesia, i was just so exhausted and my throat was so hoarse because of intubation, talking surely was the last thing i wanted to do at all. i was under for about 2 hours, and i took an hour to wake up, didn't feel like snitching on myself at all, just felt like closing my eyes and merging with my bed lol
I’m scared I’m about to have surgery next week
The thing is that I'm over aware of every thing and have never been artificially been put to sleep I don't know what to expect
10 weeks post taper from diazepa
m. Is it safe to use anesthesia that works on the gaba a receptors as mine are downregulated . Please tell me are there alternatives like dissociatives or opoids only as don't want to go into withdrawal.
Hi Daniel, unfortunately we can't answer specific medical questions via RUclips. We encourage you to talk to your care team about your concerns.
Ive never seen somone blur the anesthesia tape before- I can see the idea of not wanting to show the word "fentanyl" written out- but its actually very disconcerting because it looks like the syringes are not properly labeled- especially the benzodiazapine one- it just looks like orange tape.
Hi there, thank you for this feedback. This video is for teaching purposes only, and serves as a simulation of a procedure. Best wishes to you.
Going under is 1 of the best things. Its not like sleeping at all It’s more like your life skips forward a couple hours
It skips forward, but it seems like your surgery lasted only for a few seconds when you start to wake up.
For nausea and vomiting they can give you medications. Talk the the Anesthesiologist and he or she will ask you if you are allergic to anything before giving you anything. I wake up nauseated unless they give me medicine for that in my IV. but that medicine (it may be different for you) makes me feel not at all nauseated. Don't be afraid to ask for it if you have woke up nauseated before from anesthesia. Nausea is not fun!!
I got nausea a couple of days after my procedure 😞
Had surgery on my right thigh as there was an infected wound yesterday. While I was in operating room, doctor told me about anaesthesia and were putting you to sleep.
The next moment the procedure was completed and I'm like WTF? I woke up and everything seems normal.
But MD Anderson switched over to Propofol for Colonoscopy.
If you dream while under what does it mean?
It worked….lol
Just got all my wisdom teeth out, two of which were cut out. Barely felt the prick of the needle. Oral surgeon said I will be out in 15 seconds, that’s how long it takes to reach my brain. Suddenly I said it feels like I’m super drunk, because I became slightly dizzy and then I was waking up. Upon waking apparently I said I want to take my teeth with me so they gave them to me to take home lol. I felt funny walking immediately after but no drowsy effects or silly ness soon as I got into the car for my ride. Now I’ve been to three shops and told I look great. Didn’t need gauze after three hours. I’m 35. I’m still half numb because he said I will be for 12 hours but feeling great.
I was shaking with anxiety on the way there and I feel that was the worst part of the whole thing. It was a breeze. Nothing to be scared of. I’d do it again no problem if I had to.
