I am having a revision in April. When I got my band I woke up on the operating table as they were finishing up and it was sooooo painful. I'm due back under the knife in 3 weeks (different surgeon) but I need reassurance this isn't common! I don't think it's happened to anyone before has it!?? It was the worst experience. I was only asleep for about 45 minutes but in the movies (haha) people wake up in comfy beds with their family around them right? Not with a surgeon looking down at you with a scalpel in hand. I keep having dreams that the same thing is going to happen! Argh!

This happened to me with a different kind of surgery. I remember saying I feel that and then passed out again....very strange lol

Not common but it does happen. My revision to sleeve will be my third surgery (band in, band out were the first two) it's never happened to me. Tell your anesthesiologist about your prior experience and how you really don't want it to happen again and they can slightly increase the doses of what they give you. May be even better if you request your operative notes from the last surgery and show it to the anesthesiologist during the consult so they can see what meds/doses didn't work for you. They'd also need your weight when you had the last procedure. Anyway, that's what I would do. Good luck.

Omg was that US or Mexico!? That's so scary!! Tell them to double you up!!

Omg! I got sleeved 3weeks ago and that didn't happen to me. You need to tell this to your anesthesiologist and he/she will make sure it doesn't happen . I've had a couple surgeries and that has never happened. Hope everything goes well!

Haha it was my first surgery so I was like oh this must be normal! And I was so dopey my hands were getting in the way of the surgeon because I didn't know if it had happened yet or not! But my god it was sore. I had band done in India. This time I'm off to Mexico!

And definitely going to ask to be doubled up.. Or knocked out for a whole day so there is NO chance of it happening again!

You went to India? Do you live in the u.s? A lot of people are going to Mexico for it. Would like to talk more to you!(:

The same thing happened to me with a pervious surgery. Just let the doctors know and they will give u something a little bit strong. I'm sure it won't happen this time around if u let all the doctors know. Please tell the doctors the day of your PAT appointment good luck

How much is the average cost in Mexico?
