I have not, but it does happen. "Unfortunate" reactions to anesthesia are fairly common.

I had my egd done on Friday at the place I'm supposed to get my surgery and I think they over sedated me, I was so scared and now I'm terrified to get my surgery

I was sleeved on 3/14/12, I had no problem with the anesthesia as far as I know, one moment I was talking to a nurse the next moment I was waking up in the recovery room. So if anything did happen I was knocked out and had no idea..LOL

I was fine with no problems.

I was sleeved 3/29 and had no complications with anesthesia. Matter of fact, they gave me something in my iv before they took me to the operating room and I was out of it.

Did u guys get the gas or straight iv

I had an IV but honestly I was out so fast after the "happy relaxer" they gave me to drink in pre-op.

Straight IV.

I did great, but slept most of the first day. The gave me some Verced (not sure how to spell it) to relax me and I don't remember anything else. I also just had an IV. Good luck!!

I had an IV and they gave me the "happy juice" as I was being wheeled in to the OR. Don't remember a thing afterwards. I've had 6 surgeries and haven't had any issues with the anesthesia. However, for the sleeve, I remember telling them, "Just make sure I don't wake up until AFTER the surgery". I don't remember a thing until the following day, and had a really awful headache. I think the anesthetist gave me a little too much. I would be happy to do it again in order to be sleeved as I am now! Well worth it!!

What do you mean by you felt you were over sedated? Could you be a bit more specific about your concerns? Are you concerned over nausea, allergic reactions, etc? Normally you are prepped before you go to OR. Your vitals will be taken and you will be asked the same questions several times to make sure there is no disagreement with previous information you have provided about your health status and medications you may be on. You will be given an IV to pre-sedate upon your arrival to OR. Usually this is Versed. It relaxes you but you can still response to directions from the surgery team but you will have no memory of it. Then you will be placed under gas anesthesia. Normally that is either Isoflo or Sevo. But anesthestics work very well and leave the body fairly quickly after the procedure is done. You should discuss any concerns you have with surgeon prior to surgery so he/she can explain the procedure and address and concerns you have.

Prior to my edg I had never talked to the anesthesiologist and I know about the relaxing stuff and then the gas and normally when I wake up I'm a lil tired but that's it, this time was different.. there was no relaxing stuff.. they took me in the room shot some stuff in my iv and I passed out really fast then I remember having a nightmare about what they were doing while I was asleep there was no gas and when I woke up I was still very heavily sedated I was so scared, everything was blurry and people where talking to me but they sounded so far away, they were telling me to sign stuff like I was supposed to be awake but I couldn't even see what I was signing and I couldn't lift my arms.. the nurse made me get up to go change down the hall in the bathroom and I was so dizzy and nauseous.. it was horrible and now I'm scared to death to do it again for my surgery
