I’ve woken up twice under anesthesia. When I wake up, I’m sort of frantic and they just zap me with more drugs and I pass back out. I honestly don’t think it’s a big deal and sort of cool I remember a little bit of the process. I’m not like in pain or anything, just awake.

Comrade, others have had good responses already so I won’t try to give you facts/arguments, I don’t know that much about the subject anyway. But I’ll tell you about my experiences because they were all good, and hopefully positive thoughts will put your mind at ease.

I was in a very bad accident once where I was knocked unconscious in a brutal manner (think traumatic brain injury). And let me tell you, it is one of nature’s great mercies that we are programmed such that I can’t remember that accident at all. Not one bit. Not like going to sleep, just complete, utter blackness with nothing in the void. Perfect unconsciousness. I’ve also been anesthetized a few times and that’s how I’d describe every one of those experiences: perfect unconsciousness with absolutely nothing registering at all. It isn’t like sleep, it is something blessedly less active. I know it sounds weird to say but I’m very pro-anesthesia. We can’t deny that things can go wrong, but this is one of those things like plane crashes - we fixate on what goes wrong (I say this as a nervous flier). Many more things go right. Hang in there!

I woke up during 2 oral surgeries while under general anesthesia. It was towards the end with both and I felt them pulling the thread as they put the stitches in my gums but didn’t feel the pinch of the needle entering

I had it when I had my wisdom teeth removed. Wasn’t aware of shit but it took me an extra long time to wake up after I guess. I’m getting a vasectomy in a month or so and it’s gonna be local anesthesia so I’ll be fully conscious. I’m way scared about it lol.

Comrade, I had one in 2019. Mostly just felt uncomfortable tugging. At one point I felt closer to a pinch, told the doc, and he punched up the local.

Get some frozen peas and a video game. I played GoW 2014 and it was a blast.

That’s what I read it feels like too. I’m not so much scared about during but the build up and just the act of going through it. I’m not a fan of needles at all and try to avoid the doctor if I can. I’m gonna do it though.

I got movies a a whole lot of weed planned for the long weekend.

I had surgery under local anesthesia a few months ago. And I hope I can put your mind at ease, because it went very well.

Long story short, it was supposed to be general, but instead was done local. A vasectomy is significantly less invasive than my surgery.

The the only painful part was the shots to numb the area. Once the surgery started, I didn’t feel pain, any kind of pressure, or weird feelings. I had no idea the surgeon started cutting. That’s how effective the shots were. I was talking through the whole thing, and not concerned at all. I remember thinking during the procedure that I could do this again, no problem.

It helps lol. I’m more worried about the stuff before, I guess. Like are they gonna stick a needle in my balls? I don’t know how the full thing works except they numb you and either cut a slit of poke a hole and then snip, cauterize, and stitch it up.

The worst thing about the surgery, (obviously besides the initial shot that hopefully won’t go into your balls,) is the healing process. Just take the pain meds especially if they help with inflammation. But I found on the third day it was night and day improvement, and like I said, my surgery was pretty involved.
