Hi! My surgery is tomorrow and I'm a bundle of nerves today. I'm worried about being put under. Can anyone help me with that? Just let me know how it goes, the process and such? Thanks

Ok when you go in the OR you will have probably already been given a little versed. It helps you relax. You will move onto the OR table and they will put monitors on you. They will give you oxygen through a mask. Then they will put propofol into your iv you will be sleep in a matter of seconds. After you are sleep they will put an ET tube into your throat. You will barely remember going in the room. Thats the way the meds work. Good luck

They put the tube down and a charge catheter in while I was out. I remember the mask and counting maybe 4-5 numbers than out. Woke up groggy in recovery. Try not to stress they know what they're doing.

How long does it last?

I think about 1 hour and then your on recovery for and hour or so

I think everyone's reaction is the same when you awake in recovery. "It's over???"
