Anesthesia sedation: What to expect

Some procedures do not require full anesthesia. In these cases, sedation is used to keep you comfortable and relaxed during your procedure. You may be aware or have memories of a procedure done under sedation, and this is normal. In some cases, it is necessary to change from sedation to full general anesthesia.
After your procedure, you will be taken to the recovery area where a nurse will monitor you as you continue to emerge from anesthesia. Do not make any important decisions for at least 24 hours after any type of anesthesia.

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 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!

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.

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

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.

[@candywilson3884]

brelynn the introvert how was your surgery? What do you remember?

[@spitslip7181]

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

[@jessicae.7255]

Hope you’re okay 🙂

[@lordspyro5983]

When I woke up from my surgery I was freaking out I never had surgery in my life the last thing I remember being told to take deep breaths

[@mdanderson]

We're sorry to hear this. Best wishes to you.

[@lordspyro5983]

@@mdanderson I'm doing better my leg is on a brace I'm sitting in my living room watching TV only problem is is that I have to get around with crutches

[@Trainingonthedaily]

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.

[@hughhaefner5486]

Oh it's really not that bad. Just some happy meds and you don't even know how deep they cut you open!

[@deniseshephard3347]

I'm very high risk with anesthetics so I have to be monitored closely

[@gabriellea.lowery6824]

Same here.

[@grandmasterflash6754]

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

[@daneh977]

It skips forward, but it seems like your surgery lasted only for a few seconds when you start to wake up.

[@aarah1347]

I’m just nervous I’m going to disturb others or out myself to my parents 😂

[@jeeperslol8010]

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?

[@riley1733]

I'm getting dental surgery tomorrow. Getting sedated for the procedure. Holy I'm nervous. Hope yours went well.

[@bellabrindisi5241]

hell no i’m not getting the surgery anymore

[@NewfieAsianKid]

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.

[@royhsieh4307]

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.

[@dystopia9006]

Anaesthesia is a little scary to be frank, I had undergone it as a child and remember to this day. There is a point where your eyesight begins to blur and light dims, then, voices begin to fade, you can literally hear them tunnelling away and away from you. Your senses are somewhat nullified. You are put down with the mere silhouette of a doctor towering over you , resembling a smear of blue moving further and further away until...you wake up. With absolutely no memory of whatever happened. You are now in a different room to the one you started in and your senses begin to kick in. That's it. Hours worth of surgery feels like a mere 5 minutes. Crazy.

[@mdanderson]

Best wishes to you.

[@ahunt5016]

GUYS, I HAD ANESTHESIA TWICE THIS SUMMER AND ITS NOT THAT BAD

[@mdanderson]

We're so glad you're doing well.

[@valerieannrumpf4151]

I had sedation when I had eye surgery, also when I had a endoscopy and a colonospecy.

[@secret1597]

While I was already sedated I held on for a few minutes until I finally fell asleep lmao

[@biscuitman086]

Not bad until they keep on telling you to open your eyes when your so tired after the operation.

[@bencastillo322]

They have an amazing anesthesia team.

[@nicholasiezzi9790]

I loved it when I had my ankle surgery. I woke up and it felt like 10 seconds under a 4 hour operation

[@MsSmudge14]

This Wednesday, I will be put to sleep to have a 'Colposcopy' done. It was so painful while I was awake, and am a very nervous person, especially about needles, ugh. The last time I had a 'Colonoscopy', I didn't even make it to five and everything went black. I woke up and said to the nurse, "Why did you hit the bed on the wall"? In fact, she was shaking me awake. I was laughing when she asked the man next to me "Did you pass gas", "No", he said, then I said, "Hurry up otherwise you might blow up". LOL.

[@tomcooper6108]

I'm absolutely terrified of anesthesia. I've only been under once in my life, and I hope that will be all. Anytime you're under anesthesia is dangerous.

[@top10nostalgia69]

im going to get mine out soon, can i go to sleep during the operation

[@irobot428]

One word: amazing.

[@princeduties2991]

Some people wake up during the surgery and cant move

[@peytonharmon5089]

Everybody on here worrying about getting put to sleep during surgery..I'm more worried about waking up from malfunctioning sedation during surgery

[@Idellle]

I fell asleep in 4 seconds 😃 and woke up in the recovery area very tired but not drugged

[@xz7665]

How do you guys sleep in few seconds? It literally took me 5 minutes until I forced myself to sleep. Even the doctors were shouting and telling me to sleep, since i was wasting their time.

[@l.a.210]

I was in dreamland from memory - best feeling ever!

[@xxkillerrozexx7067]

last time I was put under for major ear surgery, apparently by my mom and doctor I refused to go under and punched the anesthesiologists- then after when I was half awake I kept mumbling apologies apparently I remembered? But I really don’t- I felt so bad apparently I clocked him in the face pretty good- I guess I have better aim when half drugged up. Cause I can’t punch worth shit whilst awake that’s one of my experiences.

[@r34lest.rod05]

being put under just feels like a blink, i remember waking up from it and just being confused, and i legit asked how long i was actually out for

[@businesstyrone69]

theres nothing to be scared of from my personal experience it feels like you black out then not even 5 seconds later you wake up im saying from my experience because i know its different for some people and the only bad thing is post-surgery pain

[@Tp88766]

I'm not having a surgery any time soon why am I watching this

[@ScaryAppul-114]

I gotta get my wisdom teeth out in a couple years

[@ghostlylover99123]

I came out howling like an over dramatic husky

[@angelromeu9638]

I’m scared I’m about to have surgery next week

[@Abelifts1]

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

[@marianna7702]

I have no problem with anesthesia. Just knock me out so I feel no pain.😝
