I had it once. They were putting a camera down my throat so no surgery. All I remember was a dark room and talking to the doctor and they say “this is the good stuff” and probably 7 seconds later I woke up confused that it was over 😂 I don’t know for you but it was best sleep I had in a long time. I felt refreshed
@@bewareofsasquatch fr. I had a bat to the face so needed some broken teeth removed. The doctor administering the anaesthesia asked if it was my first time to which I replied yes and he gave me that smirk that someone experienced with drugs gives a newbie. Like you say I woke up floating on a cloud, didn’t realise I had any type of attitude going in but I felt relived of it after waking up and felt refreshed.
Right I forgot I was having a procedure and woke up in the middle like WTH yall doing to me I was like yall trying to steal my organs and it wasn't that type of procedure
I got "you're going to feel a pinch and then you're going to go to sleep" they were not joking next thing I knew the procedure was over and I was waking up in recovery, didn't even have time to say ok 😂
dude I had mine and I didn’t even stay still I was quite young and I was like struggling to get it off me (I didn’t have an Iv I had a mask thing) honestly after the surgery it was one of the worse pains I’ve ever felt tho, cus of my body’s reaction to it :’)
When it happened to me the lady said "do you feel it yet" i said no. She said "ill give you another" after a ehile she said "do you feel it yet" i said i felt nothing unusual at all and she said okay she will give me another and they were dosing me with a needle they stuck in earlier so they cpuld adminoster multiple doses and only hit me woth 1 needle and when the lady stuck the 3rd needle to the tube connected to the needle in my arm before she even injected it thats when my memory went blank and that was the last thing i remembered until i woke up. So i felt nothing and then suddenly i was waking up there is no memory of me acting weird i jusy went from totally normal to waking up
See, I think they put it in after he started counting, either way, cute kid. Mental fortitude wouldn't be enough to overcome anesthesia, just a natural higher tolerance than most would allow someone to count a bit longer (or a tolerance gained from opiate use).
Same thing i wanted to say. Mental fortitude doesnt come into play when foreign chemicals are connecting to receptors in your brain. Thats completely out of his control. @susanivy3619
Anesthesia is a medical miracle. The feeling when you prepare your fear for a surgery but the next thing you know is you're already all good and treated is heavenly. It's like fearing a boss fight but the boss itself chickens out amd runs away.
Last time, I said to the anesthesiologist after he pressed the plunger, "Wait, I didn't tell you where the treasure is buried! It's in Central Park right by the...." Lights out. 🙂 Dumb, _and_ I waited five years to say it.
It is one of the greatest inventions. It makes it SO MUCH EASIER to perform operations for literally everyone involved. I can’t imagine being fully conscious and getting surgery, like, at all.
@@1975kappaI know what I experienced by the massive chunk of flesh and muscle missing from my left leg and butt check, and a gazillion staples there instead.
Bruh I was doing deep breaths and still made a surgeon get annoyed bcuz I was just lying there, even he raised the dose, and still I was able to handle it for long. Then I just let it go, cuz he and a nurze were quite pissed and kwpt questioning why the fuck I'm not sleeping yet 😅
@@SpicySpiritual are you by chance a redhead? or maybe related to one? apparently some of these medications don't work well with people that have red hair in their genetics
I remember some 12 yrs ago, my doctor was asking about "How's school?", I just started responding for a few seconds and boom woke up 4 hrs later in another room
It's like time travelling 2 hours into the future in an instant. It's really cool. If anyone needs an operation and is having anxiety about it, don't worry
I just had surgery. I was worried. A hot nurse put a warm blanket on me and I woke up hrs later. Had no clue. There's def nothing to worry about. I can't believe how well that stuff works
@@cptnmochiEh that's why there's a doctor specifically on standby whose whole job is to monitor the anaesthesia effect and react accordingly. Everything is risky, but there are precautions.
@@neiliewheelie8399I've heard that about "gingers". Don't know about cannabis, though. Those that use opiates have a tolerance, too. Btw...I'm not an anesthesiologist 😬
Mine was for my baby's delivery, counted 12 and dashed off, came around briefly like after 30 mins, but they reknocked me, wit another dose. The place was all green n cold as ice. Said it was a 45 mins procedure, woke up while wheeling me bck to d ICU , asking ' Where is my baby?' and my mum's voice poped up, ' His here'. And as cloudy n dark as my sight was, I recognised only voices n statures for almost 48 hrs.
With people hollering at you you! It's so rude! 😂 "All done now. Wake up, you're all finished!! Open your eyes. Wake up, now"!!! Repeating my name over and over...so over the top! One time I told one of them to hush 😂
@@amyhendricks3627😂 but I’m pretty sure they do it this way because if someone stays under too long it can be dangerous so they do this to help you come out of it.
Except it literally isn't any form of actual sleep. Being in a dissociative coma simply means you cannot react to stimuli and tend to not form memories during said period. Your body just suffered thru an intense physical trauma and you most certainly need to rest.
I was like “I’m gonna go to sleep now” 😂 anesthesiologist are probably my favorite people they take the pain away for us chronic illness patients 🖤 best nap you’ll ever have
That one I had was really mean to me he said some really nasty things to me right before he put me under. One of the worst feelings is when a doctor does that to you then you have to trust him with something like that sucks.
@@SunnyDeLiteme too! I told them once how the premed gave me the closest I have had to pain free consciousness in over 25 years. Now every time I go in, they premedicate me as soon as I get there and then again just prior to procedure. They will tell the dr I was really antsy and in pain to the point they could not settle me down and get me ready for him to do the ablation. He has told me since that he really knows what they are doing and is ok with it. He is the best pain management and pro-patient dr I have ever met.
@@smsshadoan Went in for what I believed to be a nerve ablation yesterday morning, only to get the same steroidal injection in the same spot that never works.. Really getting tired of being in pain, I am unable to afford proper healthcare and the options I have in Texas really are the worst. Not sure how I am meant to have a positive life when the doctors physically can't even prescribe life saving drugs for people like me.
I did dental surgery a few years ago. They out me on anesthesia. I remember waking up about an hour later and asking "When are you guys going to start?" and the nurse goes "You're done, we're cleaning up now."
Mine was for my baby's delivery, counted 12 and dashed off, came around briefly like after 30 mins, but they reknocked me, wit another dose. The place was all green n cold as ice.

😂😂 I had an in depth wisdom tooth extraction surgery so I couldn't speak. But I remember it taking forever for me to go under, and waking up to a kaleidoscope of the Mama Mia cast's silhouettes because they were playing the soundtrack in the background. I feel back to sleep for like 10 minutes because my head hurt and dreamt about the loml and our non-existent daughter. 😂🥲 Definitely a trippy experience
@@strivingtoonedaybeuseful6049 I’m pretty short/small of a person so when I woke up wayyy later than normal after my procedure I was shocked they assumed I was being cranky and just didn’t want to wake up😭as if I’m not a 5’3 100 lb 18 year old (at the time) who just got knocked out by a dose that was probably a bit too big for me🤣
@@augustfire3129 damn. Maybe a similar thing happened to me. I believe we need our beauty sleep after a surgery. Mine was facial reconstruction after being in a bike accident. I defo needed that sleep because in the hospital they do not let you sleep at all!!
I got to 20, then told the nurse that it wasn't going to work on me and we would be here all day. I went out and when I woke up, I picked up the conversation right where I left off. They were all laughing and told me that my surgery was already done. I started laughing because I thought they were lying. 😂😂😂😂😂
Same with me! She plugged me in and I talked to her, she was surprised and asked me if I was still awake, I said that yes it wasn't working and boom. Instant sleep 💤
It can’t, I thought the same thing the last time I went in since I had developed pretty severe anxiety, but no, the reason why is It’s not really “fightable” after a certain point since you won’t be able to think of anything anyway. Your brain becomes tired along with your body and you don’t remember anything after that
Do they lie to anyone else when starting it? For some reason mine is always like. Okay just going to start a water drip to keep you hydrated and t seconds later I'm out. Like.... I know that wasn't water lmfao 🤣 😂
@@KobbleGobblerI had surgery 1 time and yea I thought of staying awake and next thing I knew i was waking up post op 😂😂😂 not even a dream it was like time didnt even pass yet my appendix was removed 😂
@@DarkmanRideswhich we are unable to define what happens after death you assume that nothing is closer to death however it could also be the furthest. The law of conservation of energy basically gives us reason to believe in a soul or at least so form of energy being g your consciousness moving on because it can’t be created or destroyed
I was counting down from 10. I think I got to 3 or so. I was sitting up when I was counting down. Next thing I know I was wondering when I was going to pass out, but the procedure had already happened. I was sitting up in the same place and position when I came to that it felt like a seamless transition. It felt like I never lost consciousness.
It was 7 hours for me after an appendectomy, but I 100% agree with you. It is wild!! It totally feels like no time has passed, and you haven't slept, so you're still tired and fatigued
@@willp.8120this is what happened to me with the Wisdom teeth. She literally said “all done” after the anesthesia IV was coursing in but she was really saying that the procedure was all done and I was remarked “really?” In a sassy way.
General Anesthesia is one of those crazy almost unexplainable things. It completely just shuts the brain down or the part that keeps us conscious and sentient.
@@Kajavyer Some other examples... How does chemical reactions on the tongue lead to tastes when processed by the brain? Why do we sleep on a foundational level? Which existed before, consciousness or matter? Do all things even inanimate objects have some level of consciousness? Why does consciousness suddenly pop into existence some years after we are born? Noone, as far as I know, can recall their very early childhood when they were a baby.. we just, one day, "wake up"
@@DiGi1992 consciousness is a fickle thing so whether this account is true or not it doesn't solve or jeopardize the problem. If anything it can probably be mapped out on a Bell Curve to some extent with available anecdotal evidence
I was able to handle it for like a minute, and they got annoyed so raised the dose, and still wanted a half of minute before letting it go cuz they were so confused 😅
Anaesthesia is the proof of that there is nothing after death anaesthesia basically kills you, but you’re still cautious. You just have no dreams and you don’t remember anything and your heart still going
@@crazyassboybum Not religious myself but if there is an afterlife perhaps you just aren't meant to see it until you truly die which would explain why people who have died and later get resuscitated see blackness too.
@@crazyassboybumanesthésia does not kill you it just puts you to sleep... it's literally the opposite of what you said : you're NOT conscious but you're alive
This is actually really sad. When my 7yr old had surgery and was administered anesthesia, I wanted to be with him until he was under, but the nurse said, “you don’t want to see your son fall asleep this way” She was so right! Unfortunately, my son passed 9 months ago at age 33 due to an unknown heart condition. So painful
I'm so sorry for your loss I'm 30 & a mom with two kids, I couldn't imagine your pain. I was diagnosed with prolonged QT 4 years ago & I know it can cause the heart to stop & sudden death in people. I'm terrified sometimes. But may the Lord bring you peace & comfort 🙏🏽
It's so sad when a parent buries their child. My best friend that i met in kindergarten passed away at the age of 26 of bone marrow cancer. Please accept my deepest condolences! ❤️ may your son rest in eternal peace!
Our daughter went into a simple surgery on her tongue when she was 7. The nurse didn’t warn us about how they fall asleep. My wife and I completely broke down. Watching our daughter almost seem to cease too exist was terrifying. It felt like she died.
I remember asking “how long does it take to kick in” he said “you should be feeling it now” after I woke up in the resting room 😂 (Edit) I actually just remembered I asked the nurse while I was still hazy “where can I buy some of this” she laughed and said you have to have some sort of special license.
lmfao when i had to go under anesthesia i asked the doctor "how long does it usually take to start working?" and his response was "immed-". i blacked out no more than a millisecond into his response
They just asked me if i felt it yet and i said no and they gave me more and asked if i felt it yet i said no and right befor ethey gave me more again i dont remember anything after that i was just waking up felt like i had a good ass nap frankly i was comforted by this new fangled "modern medicine" sometimes they go wrong like children on puberty blockers thats more barbaric but going under for surgury really takes a lot of thenaorst part out baxk in george washingtons time they just sawed that leg right off while you were awake you but down and after they stuck a hot frying pan on the stub or some crazy shit like i garentee it. To cautorize
@@Omarie12345 anesthesia is dangerous, and even more dangerous when overdosed. That's why anesthesia nurses / technicians are paid so high, because they shouldn't mess up.
Nice going. My body usually never get affected by drugs, so when I had to have my gallbladder removed I also wanted to see how long I could last. The only thing I remember is thinking to myself "Okay, just try to be awake for as long as possible.. Pff, I don't feel anything at all, I hope-" and then I woke up in a bed at some point.
The only thing I remember from my surgery is trying to not let my ass hang out from the gown when I was getting into the bed. The next thing I remember is my dad saying "Do you know how many times you've asked me that?" after apparently waking up in delirium several hours later lol
@@ludvig3242 Pretty much every pain killer we have here in Denmark. Not any actual junkie kinda drugs. But for instance, the only time I tried morphine was when I was rushed to the hospital because of pains (which turned out to be gallbladder related). After getting the double dosis that a man of my size should've felt nothing in his whole body,, I felt like Legolas in LOTR where after drinking Gimli under the table, he starts to feel dizziness in his fingers. Although to be fair to the LOTR analogy, it was my whole right arm that was numb, which fking sucked since it was mainly chest and back/shoulderblade pains I was there because of.
I've had a lot of surgeries in my life and I always try to fight the anesthesia. It's like a fun little game before you wake up feeling like you just got hit by a truck. But the nurses with the warm blankets make it all better.
Yeah, I remember mine taking awhile. It was my first time so I didn't know it wasn't supposed to take awhile. I don't remember being rushed into the OR (after the anesthesiologist jabbing all over before finally getting the vein). I remember casually chatting with the student doctor while being wheeled into the OR and didn't pass out until some paces into the room, so I don't think that time passing was super quick or anything
I am an actual ginger so we KNOW it's legit my genetics! Gingers for some reason have more resistance to anesthesia so... maybe you have ginger genes too.
lol I messed with my anesthesiologist and jump scared them after faking sleep for like 20 seconds they looked terrified when I was like JK with finger guns and everything then I was out like a light
@@Kushroom_yeah I remember I knocked out and when I was knocked out it felt like they moved me to another room. I woke up thinking they moved me to another room to preform the surgery there, but they didn’t I was in the same room with 2 or so hours that had gone by
Doctors and nurses are high on my list of heroes. They saved my life and luckily I evidently tolerate anesthesia real well. I’ve been under the knife 13 times and have survived what’s called a Whipple procedure which is one of the most dangerous and invasive surgeries.
@@user-zp3oz7op6w Yes. The only reason I survived is that I got an early diagnosis. About 5% survive. Usually you feel good until you don’t and then it’s too late. The pancreas is shaped like a fish so doctors refer to the areas of the pancreas as the head the body and the tail. My tumor was on the head of the pancreas and pinched the bile duct. My symptoms were as follows: digestive system issues, very strange bowel movements, my back started to hurt to the point where I was trying to sleep on the floor. And then I started to turn yellow. Evidently that only means a handful of things to doctors. I had been feeling real lousy for a while. My wife and daughter said you don’t look good, and I said I don’t feel good. They were going shopping and said you need to go to the doc in the box. So I did. They didn’t even check me in. They looked at me from across the room and said you’re going to the emergency room. Leave now! And it was on. Had a biopsy within a couple hours. The doc waited for me to come around and said this isn’t a very reliable test and you show negative. He said there’s another test we need to do but that doctor is out of town. He said I know what’s going on and you have pancreatic cancer. He said there’s only a few things we can do for you. We can extend your life a little bit and make you a little more comfortable. He basically told me I was terminal. The next thing I know I am having as aggressive chemo treatments as they give to anyone for anything according to my oncologist. I was in good health otherwise and it was a little bit chubby. She said you being chubby is a good thing because you’re going to lose that weight. I went from 175 pounds to 125 pounds. So six treatments, a recovery period, and a Whipple procedure. another recovery period and more chemo. If you’re interested look up Whipple procedure. There will be two diagrams at the beginning. One before and one after. They take lots of your internal mechanism out and throw it away even if it’s not affected yet. Then they reroute everything. Sorry if you’re not very interested, but you’re getting the whole story😂 After you’re involved with a tumor Institute and surgeries people called navigators call you out of the blue and they seem to have all day and are very chatty. But they want to know is if you’re suicidal after treatments. So I go to meet this world-class surgeon who came to Idaho from the Mayo Institute in Minnesota. That very important and extremely busy man read transcriptions of all of those conversation. I had told them my story about being told I was terminal. First thing that Doc said was, so you think you’re going to die? I said yeah that’s what I’ve been told. He said well that really annoys me because that’s not that doctors call to make, that’s my call,and I’m going to save you. He got a double thumbs up from me and we both smiled. He, the oncologist who happens to be a lady from Ukraine, the chemo nurses and critical care nurses are high on my list of heroes. The most wonderful, caring, compassionate people I’ve ever met. I’ve had too many CT scans which involve radiation so now we’re relying on MRIs with an occasional biopsy if they see something they don’t like. Last biopsy gave me a blood infection which was resolved with six weeks of anabiotic injections every day. Reoccurrences are expected and life expectancy after a Whipple procedure is not very long. Wish me luck. Best wishes to anyone who happens to have read this long reply. 👍🏻😘
My dad is a former heavyweight champion boxer and he went in for surgery. The doctors knew who he was and played a “prank”. I can’t remember if it was as he was going under or as he was waking up, but the surgeon pretended to be in dad’s corner and the anaesthetist pretended to be the ref counting to 10 as if my dad had been knocked out. The surgeon was yelling “C’MON DEAN, GET UP” while everyone in the room was making noise and cheering him on. He tried to get up and was fighting to get off the bed. It took 3 people to keep him from getting up😂
Talking to my 6 year old daughter as she went under was the hardest thing I’ve done - I was talking to her about ice cream, and fun things, smiling and laughing - all to not panic her. I burst into tears when she went out - was just an outpouring of emotion. She was fine - awesome team of doctors and nurses ❤
I did the same thing when I was about his age. My dad made me a bet saying "For every second you count I'll give you 10 dollars" so I tried my best. and managed to get to 12. My dad never expected me to go past 5-6 but honored his word. and 10-year-old me just made 120 dollars in 12 seconds. This is a true story
Had a pretty big operation not long ago and the thing that freaked me out was that I remembered talking with the nurse right before passing out, then darkness and the next thing was hearing "no sir, keep lying down" in the recovery room. And it felt it was all in a fraction of a second. Eventhough the operation was 6 hours plus I have no idea how long it took for me to wake up after that.
I was just in a car accident... My hand got stuck under the top of the door where the window opens.. I REMEMBER A BURNING FEELING IN MY ARM RIGHT BEFORE I FELL ASLEEP.. THEY SAID I WOKE UP AND WAS TALKING TO THE NURSE AND MY MOM I DON'T REMEMBER ANY OF IT... HOW WEIRD IS THAT.. I JUST WOKE UP IN RECOVERY AND WAS LIKE MY MOUTH IS SO DRY... SORRY YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY WATER OR FOOD YET
Oh my bad I forgot to mention MY HAND BROKE AND ALL MY FINGERS BROKE AND I HAS SKIN HANGING OFF.. I DON'T HAVE NAILS ON MY RING OR PINKY.. STITCHES AND PINS...
at around 6 or 7 seconds you can tell by the slightly quicker counting and his eyes widening a little that he was FIGHTING the anesthesia like a boss!! 💪
I got to 15 before I passed out, and everyone made a big deal over it. I felt like passing out at 8, but if you actively fight it, you can stay conscious for a few extra seconds. :)
My colonoscopy two years ago my anesthesiologist gave me a whole dose of propofol. And I was awake. The doctors start talking about the procedure and I said, “umm, I am still awake over here.” The collective..”oh!” From the nurse and anesthesiologist. And I always wake up totally fine and fully awake. Thanks Ehlers Danlos!!
something similar but i kinda just sat there tapping my finger on the rail just babbling on about code and music, the doctor had time to come in and say “im surprised you’re still up” after he had done his prep for the procedure. About 5 - 10 seconds after that they gave me more MJ Juice and i was out😂
I've had 2 surgeries now with anestesia and its still one of the freakiest feelings a human can have. One second you're talking with the doctor and then he says "here it comes", you feel your body tingling and suddenly what feels like a second later you wake up in the recovery room after 3 hours. Also waking up from it is like you just had the best nap ever
I've literally gone under saying the Lord's Prayer. Then ad I regained consciousness, I was still saying the prayer. I picked right up where I left off.
My son is 27 now but at age 3 he stayed awake for so long under anesthetic (lot longer than 10 seconds) the anesthesiologist was going to have the operation cancelled.. Fortunately after the suggestion was made he did fall asleep.. I was told to go home because of the amount of anesthetic they'd had to give him would mean hed remain a sleep for hours.. Something in my gut told me to stay and not only did he wake up just as he was being wheeled out from the operating room giving all medical staff one hell of a shock n fright, but he said "Can i have my sausage, beans and chips now please" Whist waiting for my son to fall asleep after he had been administered the anaesthesia, he really was awake for so long, it was part of the conversation hed had with the anesthesiologist, who jokingly tried bribing him. But shockingly couldnt understand how this little boy was still lucid and able to have a full blown conversation.. Hes never had any other operations but I believe the hospital added a warning on his records, should he go under again..
@Lucifer___- It was a memory that made me smile and a story I thought others would also enjoy reading about.. Nothing sinister and by the few "likes" a few people dod enjoy the story.. Shame your response was one of negativity, instead of taking it for what it was, a simple story and I pray your life is happier than the comment you left and you have the life you deserve.
A month ago when I was at the hospital to get my pacemaker/ICD and wire out. I remember the anesthesia nurse saying: "give her more" because it didn't take effect fast enough - I remember counting to 15 and a few seconds after being given more I was dead out 😅 They did a good job, so thankful to all those working at the hospitals.
I remember trying to stay awake for my heart surgery as a kid and the surgeons were making jokes as I was falling asleep and I woke up laughing uncontrollably
Ugh seriously. Insomniacs and fellow sleep-disordered peeps unite! No way could any of these anesthesia drugs *ever* be safely utilized outside of a surgical setup, closely monitored by an anesthesiologist, but omg it sure _seems_ like it’d be GREAT to 1) be able to choose exactly when you’re gunna transition over to La-La Land instead of having to wait on your body to hopefully relax enough, and 2) be guaranteed to get that crazy deep sleep every single night! Haha they’d also have to figure out how to fix the other major downside of waking up super “drunk”, weak, drowsy, & confused. God it’d be so great to just be able to flip a switch and have a full, restful sleep every night. It sucks ass trying to LIVE life while not having healthy sleep patterns, or having excessive daytime drowsiness/fatigue/brain fog, etc.
i was so nervous before my anesthesia. i had to get endometriosis removal and have severe anxiety around being unconscious around strange men, due to csa. when i woke up it felt like i had gone through it again, i was just crying and screaming for my mom at 25. the nurses were so kind and understanding and one of them kept holding my hand until i was fully there again.
I cried before I fell asleep. It’s the loss of control I think. Nurses were very nice and basically coddled me with warm blankets and to breath deep as I cried right to sleep 😂
@MegaStorm most people have the ability to have compassion with other people, and i had told them before about my anxiety. they did everything to make me feel safe and reassured me.
@mandi.monroe i was so terrified of losing consciousness that the doctor started a chat with me about easter dinner. it helped so much to relax, just having my last thoughts going under be something else.
