PLEASE READ – Getting extremely concerned about general anaesthetic :(

Went for my pre op today and was excited at first but then I got a bit upset when the nurse was asking for my next of kin etc, I’ve never been under before and now my op is getting so close I’m getting really nervous…I can’t sleep because I’m always thinking ‘what if I die on the table’ I know it sounds ridiculous but I am SO scared. I’ve wanted a BA since I was 15 and I still want it now but I’m getting so paranoid about it. Waah, feeling so low now x

i was exactly the same i thought i was going to die or wake up whiles they wer cutting my nose off lol! its dead easy tho, your gone within seconds and then your awake! actually feels really nice like your just falling asleep! dont worry seriously its nothing! xxx

Thanks hun, am still soo afraid though, you hear about people dying in surgery and shit because they react to the aesthetic or whatever…wahhh ‘( x

You wont even know you have been put under hun i was halfway through telling him to make sure i woke up and the next thing i was awake in recovery doing drugged thumbs up to everyone and anyone lol xx

dolly, i must admit it didnt concern me that i might not ‘wake up’ until the actual time they were inserting the anesthetic into my arm, the last thing i remember is panic thinking i would die and then i was awake and loving my boobs!! i think everyone has this thought wether its laughed off or really thought about in depth.

the chances of dying under anesthetic are way way way lower than being hit by a car and dying.

if that helps lol

you will be fine xxx

hi babe, what your feeling is normal and the next of kin thing is just paperwork/formality.Alot of people get these thoughts I DID thats why i had my ba’s done under local anaesthetic as i was so scared.The large magority have it done under general and nothing goes wrong,,we all have the thoughts of what if? but its just nerves.You’ll be fine-it’s nothing to worry about xx

Hi dolly92,you will be posting very shortly how easy it was,one minute you are chatting the next minute you are waking up,it feels like seconds,you will be totally fine,you are in the safest hands.xx

ha i was half way through saying make sure i dont wake up, then bam i was gone! id love to do it again i cant believe i was so afraid of something thats easy! but it got to the point i was so hungry i couldnt wait to go sleep to wake up and eat! xxx

I was exactly the same I was panicking and every considering not doing it because it was first time I’ve ever gone under, even cried when they put the drip in me ready to go! But honestly it was the most fun thing in the world I love it, as I was falling asleep I apparently told the guy I bet he loved his job staring at boobs all day next thing I knew I woke up thinking I hadn’t gone to sleep grabbed my boobs and asked when I was going in when I’d already had them done! It’s nothing to worry about they just have to ask that to anyone going under anaesthetic! Xx

Thanks guys, that makes me feel a little better

Can’t help but think about it though :/xxx

I had to have a GA a few years back to have a lump removed and I had some sort of gas cos I didn’t want the injection and honest hun it was ace! I was just laughing uncontrollably at absolutely nothing then I was knocked out! Prob not the same with the injection but it gets you so quick then once you wake up it’s just like you’ve had a nice sleep xx

you will be fine, I had GA few years ago best sleep I ever had the waking up is amazing cant wait to do it again in 7 weeks

Please dont worry hun, its a breeze! I was really nervous to but i bloomin loved my GA, you have the best sleep ever and you wake up with boobs, then you just snooze all day, its ace! xx

i’m the same the thought of being put to sleep ad not know whats happening to me is really scary, actually glup at the thought, i’m booked in for jan 19 how bout u dolly? x

I’m on the 31st Jan natiecon…Am going to sleep on it tonight and may call them tomorrow to opt for regional anaesthetic instead x

where are u having your op done hun? i was terrified of the GA as i’d never had it before and i smoke quite a lot so thought that might complicate things, all i kept thinking is what if i don’t wake up and my son wont have his mommy i had my op at fitzroy square and everyone there is so nice and really put u at ease, i know its easy to say don’t worry but u will be fine xxx

oh my!! 1 day and half left i am feeling exactually the same if not worse i dnt knw how im going to stay in the car driving down!! ive wanted this for ages but so scared :-(xx

dolly92…as all the other girls have said on here it’s really nothing to worry about you will be fine, i was shocked how fast it worked he literally put the needle in my hand and i remeber looking at machine could see drops going down tube felt a tingle in my hand and that was it woke up in my room! they will look after you don’t worry yourself! xx

and natiecon i have told you u will be fine it’s a walk in the park! xx

ul be fine hun, i’m gonna have the GA even tho i’m proper scared but i’d rather be knocked right out then feel any type of pain (just incase) x

Thanks guys x

Hey dolly92 none of that now!! You’ll be just fine and telling us all about your awesome new boobies courtesy of Mr C the boobie god!! I can’t wait to see your finished results and get even more excited about mine!! Come on girl.. Chin up!! Xxxxx

Cheers hun, it just put me on a bit of a downer that’s all x

That is something I have thought about alot to.. I’ll be leaving 4 kids and a wonderful boyfriend for my BA on my big day and I keep thinking.. OMG what if I don’t wake up!! But I have had a GA before and I did wake up.. Lol.. It’ll be fine hun.. We are all in the same boat. By summer we’ll both have lovely boobies!! Woop woop!! Lol xxx

Yeah but at least you’ve had GA before, I haven’t…I don’t know if I’m allergic to it or whatever that’s why I’m so concerned

Hopefully yes

Am still going to call them tomorrow x

dont worry hun! im the biggest wuss going. i was sooo scared! ask for the gas!! (once ur out with that thats when they put the cannula thing in, i didnt even no id had it done!) n literally as soon as u lay down take 2 breathes ur asleep but in this nice cozy warm way i went from cryin n sobbing like a baby thinkin i was gonna chicken out, to thinking “mmm bikinis soon with no padding!!” then woke up back in my room, actually smiling! x

Aww thanks hun, I reckon if I do decide on GA I’ll cry SO much! I’m soo paranoid arghh xx

Hi Dolly92

Believe me i know just how you feel, i suffer from a complaint called sleep apnea which means i stop breathing when i’m asleep. Unfortunately i also stop breathing under GA too! How stupid is that? Add to that the fact that i have Perthes in my hip which means it dislocates during GA and you can imagine how i felt. Well i had my BA on 16th Dec + it was the best, smoothest GA i’ve ever gone through, I didn’t wake up dead + my hip never dislocated! Honestly if i can sail through it anyone can. You’ll be fine promise xxx

Ohh poor you

Why didn’t you opt for regional anaesthesia? xx

its so reassuring to know that a lot of girls are worried about the GA because I am too! I have my op next Tues and the only thing I am worried about is the GA xxx

Do you know what else I’m worrying about, showing Mr C my bare breast!! Sounds silly because he sees loads every week and will think nothing of it but I’m DREADING it!! I get a cold sweat just thinking about it.. Daft tart huh!! Lol xxx

Do you know what else I’m worrying about? Showing Mr C my bare breasts!! I know he probably sees hundreds every week and he’ll thjnk nothing of it but I’m DREADING it!! Just the thought of it brings me out in a cold sweat.. Daft tart huh!! Xxx

Nah I don’t mind about that because he’s seen mine already…plus my mates Mum, who’s a nurse always says that doctors and nurses have seen basically everything, you won’t shock them lool x
