its great that you got this info before surgery, some peeps dont and i have seen a few on here lately that really need to read this through

I'm wondering if my post prompted this....I dunno. I guess its personal and we all have to know for ourselves if we're doing (or trying to do) the best thing, the last option....

Thanks a lot Carrie, that was truly some great information.
i notice that it would take 4 hour under the general anesthesia.
there's no way i can go around that, i don't want to be put
to sleep.

Exactly it all comes down too it.. do we really want it or not? or is it worth it.. I believe it is we just have too overcome this. In the past I had suffered panic attacks mind you they are still there but not as bad as before I couldnt even be in the same room as other people I would run out, shopping was bad for me and I was never like this till something tramic happened in my life.

I also hope they dont use the gas mask too put you too sleep cause I would loose it cant handle anything being on my face. I never was one too wear like scarves just cant do it..wonder what they use??? Can anyone tell me?

Hi, I haven't yet had my surgery - still in the beginning stages of this process. From my understanding, anesthesia is given either by inhaling the anesthetic or by intravenous line. I think it just depends on your particular surgeon and the place where the surgery is performed.

Once you choose a surgeon, you can always ask beforehand. Good luck, Greg
