When I had surgery, I felt like I got hit by a truck.

But it's really quick, and you won't remember the details.

One weird thing that happened to me is I started shaking uncontrollably while I was still partially under. It was almost like a seizure, but it was just my muscles twitching from the anesthetic and from being sliced on. After a dose of some medication and a sip of Sprite, I was back to normal within a minute.

It's really not that big of a deal though, and some people even enjoy it. :shrug:



So THAT'S how fast-travel works in Skyrim!

If it's upper GI, you'll probably get an injection and be out within a few seconds. Then you'll wake up and feel groggy.

I just had this done two months ago. It's not normally general, it's actually called a "twilight sleep". My doc used something called "MAC" to quickly put me under then used the twlight type drugs to keep me under. To be very honest, I was more scared about all that then I was about anything they were going to do and I can tell you that it was the stupidiest thing to be worried about. I just asked them not to tell me when they were going to give me the drugs and it was all over long before I knew what was going on.

So just to repeat what everyone else has said: You'll get an IV, they'll give you the drugs as they wheel you back into the room to do the procedure, and then you'll likely just wake up in post op. All I felt right before falling asleep was this terribly strong sense of dizziness and then suddenly I was waking up in post op.

It's not like sleeping though. I was seriously giddy afterwards telling everyone in post op how much I loved them and asking if I could take some of the drugs home. lol But I don't remember any of that and when I finally could remember stuff, I was STARVING. The rest of the day was fine, no lasting effects at all.

As others have said its pretty much counting back from 10 and being out like a light before you get to 7.

Next thing you know you will be waking up on gurney. It did take a couple hours to get completely back to normal after all four of my wisdom teeth taken out.

I went under last year. Of course, I was nervous before the surgery and when in waiting. But when you go to the theatre, it goes out like a light. The worst part of surgery would be getting the needle. It's like going to sleep, really, and when you wake, you feel a little groggy and a little weak and you wobble when you try to walk. I went straight home two hours prior to waking.

I remember waking up in the middle of some procedure. I was all loopy and could feel them pricking me to with something so I could go back to sleep. It's hard to hear when you're all loony, and the lights are real bright. It's pretty much a haze, nothing like getting a headache just freaky.

I've had an endoscope and wisdom teeth removal / oral surgery.

With the wisdom teeth I was given laughing gas and general anesthesia. I remember a bit of time dilation from the gas. Every voice seemed to echo and I felt things a second after they happened (like when someone touched my arm). I smiled too -- guess that's the 'laughing' part. Then I was out.

Both of them left me very groggy when I woke up and for the rest of the day I felt 'off'.

If it's just an endoscope then there's no pain afterwards, just a slightly sore throat.

Two teeth removed, was put under. Besides the assistant having terrible trouble trying to get the iv in(Seriously my veins are really easy to see, how can you miss that many times), it wasn't bad. It's pretty much like what everyone here's said. You pretty much just shut off, I don't remember even feeling sleepy, just was counting and then I woke up. They had a bit of a scare though cause I immediately tried to stand up.
