When they put you to sleep what kind of breathing device they use to keep you breathing?

They put the breathing tube down your throat after you are asleep. Then take it out before you wake up. My throat was only a little sore the next couple days.

OMG, That is one of my worst nightmares... =( I hope I don't feel it at all!

I didn't feel it. You are totally out when it goes in and comes out. The sore throat I had was nothing! I didn't even notice it except when I would yawn.

I didn't even know they had put one in at all. Didn't feel a thing and no sore throat for me. Just dry mouth. Lots of ice chips because you can't have Water until the next day.

Absolutely nothing to worry about. You won't feel a thing. It's perfectly understandable to be frightened by the idea of a tube going down your throat. Just like it's perfectly understandable to be frightened by the idea of surgery. But it's also perfectly understandable that you won't feel a thing. Lol. You're gonna love the new you!!

If you are worried .... Ask the questions of your surgical team, I had morbid fear of dying and was v real. Yes you can die from op but look at research - all I know is I am so pleased I did mine

Never knew tube was in. One of my nightmares too!
