Have you ever been aneasthetized?

Question

I want to go in for a breast enlargement due to having undeveloped b*****s. It would make a huge difference to my confidence and mean I could buy clothes and underwear to fit me, and make me look like a normal woman. But I am a very ultra-sensitive kind of person who suffers from panic disorder, and psychosis. I find the idea of 'going under' petrifying. Have you done it? What's it like? I have taken sedatives before like diazepam and its a nice feeling, but imagine myself being panicked by the feeling of being 'sucked down,' into darkness with proper anaeasthesia. What if if I have a terrible panic attack and I cannot shout out? What if I wakeup and the unfamiliar surroundings and intellectual approach of doctors etc frightens me? And then people might start getting mad at me or being telling me 'there's nothing to be scared of, be quiet.' What if I start hallucinating or something because I can't wake up properly or focus??

As you can tell I am pooing myself, because I really do get such panic attacks like I've described in real life, and really do get hallucinations.

Answer 1

I have had so many procedures that I have lost count.  I have been anesthetized countless times, and have no fear of this part of operations.  Sometimes you will get a little drug in your IV prior to the surgery that will take the edge off your nerves.  If you are especially nervous, ask the anesthesiologist to give you something.  The actual anesthesia is rather pleasant.  It is not exactly like sleeping at night, as you fall asleep immediately.  You will dream.  When you awaken, you will feel drowsy and will sleep most of the next 12 hours.  Don't be afraid, it will be the easiest part of the operation.  Good luck, I hope you have fantastic results.

Answer 2

I had to have an operation on my breast and i also couldn't stand the idea of being put to asleep. I was lucky and i got away with a local anaesthetic but now i wouldn't recommend it not only was i awake for the whole thing and got to see the surgeon coming towards me with the scalpel, anaesthetic going into the breast tissue burns like nothing i have ever experienced before. I have had anaesthetic in my mouth and back before so it wasn't the first experience but worse than the other two by miles.

Answer 3

I have being twice! for my appendix and knee surgery! you don't know that you are asleep or anything until you wake up1

when you wake up you will be very tired and will not feel the pain of the operated part instanly!

believe me its a really relaxed sleep but you dont dream or anything- almost like your blacked out for a hour or two!

and dont even give them people a reason to pick on you, its not them thats getting there b*****s enlarged!

good luck.:)

Answer 4

Don't worry about it. Many people have it done. I had it when my wisdom teeth were taken out, and it's fine. You go out pretty quickly, and you're just groggy when you get out of it. That feeling goes away shortly after though. Maybe you should have a close friend go with you for support and hold your hand when you get the injection. You'll be just fine!

And don't listen to the person who talked about Bobby Brown's wife! They don't know what they are talking about.

Answer 5

No, sorry. I am just terrified at the thought of not waking up afterwards. Bobby Brown's first wife had cosmetic surgery but never woke up from the anaesthesia and died. It's a scary thought, especially considering it was over something so unimportant. I don't want to be horrible, but if you've got kids then you are very selfish. If not, then go for it.

Good luck.

Answer 6

My friend is a nurse and she said going under general anathesia is the best sleep you'll ever have.

I was given nitrous oxide at the dentist and had a bad experience with it, I was able to hear everything around me and I was seeing things that weren't there.  When my dentist got close up to me he looked like a deformed alien or something.

You'll be fine though they will put you completely out and you won't see/hear anything.  Enjoy the rest!!!

Good Luck!

Anesthesia is like going to sleep. When you wake up you will feel a bit drowsy. It is true that you could go through Anesthesia Awareness where you you can hear and smell and taste. But this is extremely rare. In other words Anesthesia is safe but like everything else in the world it has some risks although they are extremely small.

Answer 8

I had surgery 2 weeks ago  and was freaked out about the anesthesia. But they gave me this 'cocktail' drug mixture in my iv before I went to the OR and it totally realxed my nerves. Then they gave me oxygen and the fall asleep drug. I barely remember going out, and then woke up like 2 seconds later (2 hours) and it was over and I was alert and fine. You would just need to relay your fears to the anethesiologist, who will come talk to you before surgery. Good Luck! I know what you are feeling.

Answer 9

when i got anesthisized, i didnt even know i went to sleep. when i woke up, i couldnt walk straight lol. it was like i was really drunk and trying to walk. its not scary.

Answer 10

The first few seconds after injection, you'll get a bitter taste in the back of your mouth. Then you go under, it is like a deep sleep, no dreaming though. You'll wake up in a few hours very drowsy, but it will go away quickly. It will be the best sleep you'll get in a longtime. I have anxiety panic attacks too, don't be afraid.

Answer 11

Hi, I understand your worry.  I too suffer from panic attacks, and a few years ago, i had a small operation and everything was fine being put to sleep, seriously, its nothing to worry about.  They inject you with the anaesthetic, and then in just seconds, you are asleep.  But, I'm just being honest, not trying to scare you, but when i came round, i was very sleepy, but was having a panic attack.  I remember my legs kept shaking too, but they just said i had a bit of a reaction to the anaesthetic.  I had an operation before this and had no reactions before with the anaesthetic, but it was before i developed panic attacks.  I was also sick a couple of times, but after an hour or so, i was fine and couldn't wait to go home - wide awake and alert. Just talk any of your concerns with the anaesthetist before you go in for the operation.  They usually come and talk to you just before you go into theatre.  Good luck xx
