Being put under

I know it's the fear of the unknown.... Between this and the drain (post below) my anxiety is raising! What does it feel like to be put under? Just a nap?

I was put under 2 different times.

The 1st was for the pre-op EDG test. They gave me the sleep drug that Micheal Jackson used - propofol. They told me it might feel a little warm at the IV site, when they injected the drug. It literally felt like I blinked my eyes..... and the EDG test was over. One second I was blinking my eyes closed.... and when they opened, it was over and they were ready to roll me out of the OR.

For the WLS operation, they used a different type of anesthesia. But it was virtually the same experience. I was very very nervous, so when I felt a little sleepy, I just went with the feeling. Next thing I knew, they were rolling me down the hall and back to my room.

Nothing too it, either time. B)
