Are you feeling ok today Anonymous? I want to be very, very asleep!!!
-
Knock my ass out.

Assuming no pain was involved, I'd like to be conscious and watching them cut me up. :-) "HEY DOC! Don't leave the freaking scissors in there!"
-
I want to be out! When I had my surgery in July I was so worked up that the surgeons assistant gave me Valium to calm me down before they knocked me out.

It really depends on which part of my body is being operated on. I was awake for an operation on my big toe in the emergency room. I'd probably find it more interesting now.

I wish they could of knocked my ass during childbirth!!!:) OUCH:) depends on what kind of operation;)

If I can take a local (for the pain) I would take that. I've had a couple surgeries and the stuff they use to knock you out makes you feel like crap for a few days. Although, the 5 to 10 seconds before you go under are wild:) I had a local for a toe problem. Pretty cool. Blood spurting, doctor working and me not feeling a thing. Kind of would have liked to see my appendectomy, where they pull out your intestines, cut out the appendix and then squish everything back in.

twilight. i had my upper wisdom teeth removed without any gas. i only received local anesthetics (which translated into dozens of shots into my gums and into my tooth nerves). i was awake during the bloody, sawing mess. jumpin jehosaphat that hurt.

I had a C-section after 27 hours of labor. The doctor asked me if I wanted to go to sleep, I was so tired I said yes but, I wish I would have stayed awake to see my daughter born. For any other operation I would want to be asleep.

Since general anesthetic makes me very sick, I stay awake for everything possible. When I had carpel tunnel surgery, I was awake but my surgery was postponed for about 7 hours due to some emergency and I, by that time, was a complete basketcase and I had so much anxiety medicine that by the time I woke up, it was over..though the surgeon said I did wake up a couple times and mumble a few things (he didn't tell me what..scary)..but I would prefer to be awake so I can ask questions and know what's going on. I have this fear of "being unconscious" and not knowing if something goes wrong.

-
You know, I have a very high tolerance for pain. But I gotta go with asleep here.

Asleep, I don't want to know that they are cutting on me, I have had many operations and have been asleep for all, even ones where they don't put most to sleep for.
