Local anesthetic and sedation Started by: Anonymous

Louise I had local and sedation. I am not a mya patient.. But there was no price difference. My surgeon offered both and was very clear there was no real difference medical wise as it is the same drugs just less used. The reason I chose it was because it was simply less medication to get out of my body after. On the day, he put in my sleepy meds at 2.30 and I woke up after 4pm and it felt like a very satisfying 5min nap! I have 2 needle bruises on my body one in my boob and one in my tummy for the local aesthetic. I have no experience of GA so I don’t know what the differences would have been. Hope this helps.

Louise, the surgeon warned me that I might be able to hear sounds or see lights or memories might come back to me over the 24period after. But I heard nothing, see nothing and remember nothing!!! It didn’t scare me cause I had an emergency section for my third baby in 2012 and nothing could have been worse than that! And it wasn’t at all, it was all planned, professional, sleek and I have had no issues, I didn’t feel out of it afterwards either, I was fully awake at 4.30 and chatting my head off, I left the clinic after tea and toast at 5pm. I had an hour journey home, and I chatted all the way home! I was just a starving by the time I got home.
