Anyone ever have surgery and/or general anastesia?

Ive had 4 surgeries. 2 hospital and 2x wisdom teeth. All 4 times I was told I was laughing and I would not stop talking...

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I've had it maybe 5 or 6 times. Each time I was laughing hysterically when I woke up and wouldn't shut up! The only negative thing that happens to me is that body crashes the next day and I need sleep.

I woke up shaking and very nauseous. I had to fight the urge to cry hysterically.

This was my experience as well... the chills, shaking , extreme nausea... and I felt hysterical also but didn't actually break down

Luckily, it all passed really quickly...

I woke up and I was really nauseated and dizzy. I didn't throw up but I felt like I wanted to. They don't let you gt up for a few hours...I had to use a bedpan, which was fun...haa..they're pumping you with fluids do you're always peeing. I rememebr when i finally did get up to go to the bathroom I felt SO dizzy like I was gonna fall over...then they made me eat jello and take codeine and see if i could hold that down, and I st in a chair for awhile after a lot fo time in a bed, and then they let me go home for the next day or so I felt nauseated and chills...like a bad fever kind of thing...but it subsided after a day.

ETA I woke up as they were wheeling me out of the OR and I was SCREAMING (not good since I had just had my tonsils and adenoids removed), I ripped the mask off my face. I was just really scared..and I'm a little calustrophobic so i didn't like the mask being on my face and I wouldn't let them put it back on me...but it was only for a few seconds as I woke up, then I calmed down as I became aware...it's just scary because I woke up with amsks all over me, being wheeled down a hallway, with all these strangers looking over me...it was really scary but after I got ym bearings no problem

When I had my wisdom teeth taken out the doc said 'Do you know how hard it is to take someones teeth out when they wont shut up '

As you can see e/o is really different! I've had wisdom teeth removed and ambulatory surgery. Both times I was fine and wanted to go home as soon as I woke up. But they don't let you; they keep you for a little while to make sure there's no problems. But my cousin has gone under a few times and each time she vomits for the rest of the day. It depends. Good luck and hope all goes well!

I woke up feeling cold and groggy. Didn't get angry, upset, or sick, though. You'll be fine!

Me too! Nothing major. Good luck!

I've had it twice, and I must say, besides the pain, it was the best sleep I ever got!

I didn't wake nauseous or scared or anything, I wanted to sleep more and was pissed they woke me up!
The first time I think I was under longer and the pain was more severe, so I was doped up on morphine, so I was more groggy, but all in all, it was fine.

I remember waking up very slowly and my arms and legs felt very, very heavy. That wore off. It felt like coming out of a very deep sleep. I recall that I felt fine once I was out of recovery. This was for plastic surgery to remove a birthmark on my neck when I was 9.

My brother, on the other hand, had hip surgery and was very sick- throwing up and groggy. I wonder if I got less because of the type of surgery because I really felt ok fairly quickly afterwards.

I have had it a few times. I felt groggy, but nothing too bad. Definitely tired that day & the morning after.
I did, however, get pretty messed up on the pain killers they ahd me on after the surgery.

Not to scare you, this was just my experience but I woke up and just instantly started crying hysterically. I dont even know why... they said it was from the anesthesia and to just keeping taking deep breaths in and out to clear it out.

that's how i react as well.
i've had anesthesia several times and each time I wole up and started crying....

I have had 4 surgeries and each time I had a different experience. One time I woke up and I was fine, another I woke up and started hysterical crying, another time I woke up and started throwing up and another time I woke up screaming and the nurses came over and gave me something that sorta calmed me and knocked me out again. Each person is different. I hope everything goes well!! Good Luck!!
