    The anthesia guy stays with you the entire op measuring everything like heart rate etc so if you did he’d just pump in a bit more anthesia, but they weigh you and take your height before hand so they know exactly how much you need! , like Francesca said its so rare! Xxx

    I was terrified of the exact same thing, even though i’m a nurse and I know the chances of that happening are practically 0. you fall asleep so quickly though that you won’t have time to think about it and be scared, next thing you know you’ll wake up in recovery. the anaesthetist will stay with you so the whole time so in the very very rare case you move a finger, they would give you more sedation straight away. remember this is private care so you get the best of eveything, they don’t take any chances. you honestly have nothing to worry about x

    I was so panicked waiting in the room before going into the theatre I was petrified. However I was asleep and awake before I new it, i got told not to fight the anaesthetic and just let my body go with it. I loom back now and I think why was I so worried honestly it will be fine xx

    I’ve had this thoughts so your not alone. It’s good to hear the reassurance of others.

    How did people feel when coming round? I’ve never had a GA before so a little worried about hiw ‘out of it’ I may be.

    Hey, my other half is an anaesthetist and so I have questioned him a lot on this! My biggest fear is the GA! Anyway when you are under GA there are loads of warning signs if you start to come around before you actually do such as your heart rate changing etc. so they will see the signs and give you more GA before you begin to wake up. Try not to worry about it xx

Just goes to show nerves play mind tricks ha! Dw darl you’ll be ok sleeping till your all done 🙂 I’d advice anyone who smokes to stop or try cut down before Surgery because it thins the blood out and less oxygen and healing process is delayed xx
