ever needed general anesthesia yes or no

I had to be sedated a few times when I dislocated my jaw.

I've had 4 surgeries requiring general anesthesia and I also had a colonscopy/endoscopy which was done under general anesthesia. I think its great, you close your eyes, and you open them and the procedure is done. You don't dream at all, and you don't have a sense that any time has passed when you wake up.

I did when I had surgery on my nose because the inside was crooked & was contributing to sinus problems & minor sleep apnea

Yes, for a brain MRI because without it would have been a sensory overload.

aww what happened why a brain mri

ok did the mri hurt or were you asleep how did they keep you still

I was out with the anesthesia. They strapped me in and put my head in this thing that looked like a football helmet.

ok how old were you and was it a papoose board they used

I was 16 or 17, I don't remember. They used some kind of board, not sure what it is called.

ok were you awake when you were put on the board

Nope, but the thought terrifies me. Having never had general anesthesia, maybe I would end up being one of those patients who are physically anesthetized but mentally alert. If I ever need general anesthesia, I think seriously that I would beg for a test run.

i had over 20 surgerys

two partial tounge replacements, one tounge reduction, one to put in feeding tube, all since September.
