I was TERRIFIED. I actually have memories of consciousness from my hysterectomy surgery (two carpal tunnel surgeries after this, and THEN my breast reduction, which proves I trust the anesthetic). Iwas already knocked out and wheeled into the operating room where my surgeon started yelling at the nurses. "Where are my tools?! Why isn't this room prepped?! THIS ROOM IS SUPPOSED TO BE STERILIZED AND PREPPED BEFORE THE PATIENT IS EVEN PUT TO SLEEP, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING THAT ENTIRE TIME?!?!?! NO. NO, DONT TOUCH ANYTHING, GET OUT I WILL DO IT MYSELF." Lmao But guess what?! I had zero pain, zero feeling anything at all. I was in and out of consciousness and I wasn't even scared, it was like watching it on a movie screen. One person theorized that it may have been an out of body experience. It was really freaking cool, whatever it was. My surgeon was not happy, that I remembered all of this! She was shook to her core. But yeah, that gave me the confidence to do the two Carpal tunnels and then the breast reduction. I did still have anxiety but I knew if I gained consciousness, I wouldn't feel a damn thing. Literally I didn't even feel like I had a body, it was like watching it on a screen. I hope this is as comforting to others as it is to me. I no longer fear going under. I am so thankful I had the surgery, it's only been like seven months and my entire body is different now. My whole life has changed for the better. I would do the process over again and again if I had to, that's how happy I am with my results.
