Would you be scared if you saw your own body parts if you woke up during an operation?

My experience wasn't so great as fred the dog's. The anaesthetic just about killed me and I slept and slept and slept. It was about 2/3 weeks before I could laugh properly or sleep on my side and felt normal. However, I feel fantastic now, definately worth getting done- after the post op niggles go!!

maybe you should ask her to describe on what was her nightmare about and does it happen everyday from then on? and how long does the nightmare last each time?\n\ni don't think that the nightmare happens due to the surgery but instead its some psychological problem.\n\nmoreover, you can get some advice with the doctor.

Do you mean anesthetic? If so, it's because if you remembered the operating room and the people, you'd also remember the pain of the surgery. Cutting into the human body HURTS.\n\nPain isn't something most people care to remember. If you knew how much agony you would be in during surgery, you may not choose to have surgery in the future when you really need it. The fear of the procedure would be magnified not only by the risk that is always there, but also knowing how much it is going to hurt.\n\nSome things are best left not remembered.

I had surgery on both eyes to correct my vision. The eye heals very very fast. I didn't feel anything during surgery and I was awake. What I felt after the surgery was not pain but, well you know when you poke yourself in the eye and can't open it and it gets all teary. Well that's what it felt like, but only for a day... I just kept my eyes closed and laughed alot cause I was walking around my house bumping into things.. Don't worry honey you will be ok. Good luck with the surgery.

I almost died when I had a blood clot operation a few years back, on the operating table, that was an experience I will never forget.  Ever since then I have not feared death because I felt peaceful when it happened, not that I want to die now, but when it is my time I don't have fear and I will be with my family and friends.  :)

I had all 4 of mine out at the same time.  They stuck a needle in my arm, put me to sleep, and 30 minutes later I walked out...well, stumbled, out.  My wife drove me home.  I slept the rest of the day and most of the night.  Woke up in some pain.  Took some more pills.   \n\nNo, it wasn't scary.  Make sure you get some good pain killing drugs.

Yes, you will probably feel better after surgery heals.\n\nTry to have someone stay with you your first 24 hours after you wake up from surgery, and your first 24 hours home.\n\nYour favorite pillow from home helps. Warm sox. Personal stereo. A small fan for your 'hot flashes'. Most hospitals will let you keep a small ice chest in your room with favorite drinks from home. And of course, pad, pencil, and picture boards to communicate.\n\nIf you have to take massive laxatives to prepare for surgery, get a potty from Salvation Army or rent one. Make a big thermos of cold water, keeps hand cleaner, Kleenex, etc handy, and camp out in front of the TV for 3-4 hours. If the rest of your family doesn't like it, too bad, let them go out and for a movie and pizza. They would not like it any better if you were in the bathroom with the door locked for 4 hours.\n\nMake sure things like glasses and dentures have your name on them. Clothes too. Leave valuables at home, including wedding ring. \n\nYou will be itchy for a few days, all over, from anesthetics and pain meds. A brush with medium stiff bristles, like a bath brush feels great.\n\nA discreet spray of Ozium can make a shared hospital room nicer, but don't use it if your room mate is there for breathing problems, pneumonia, etc.\n\nDid I forget anything?

I have, it scared the s*** out of me!  I woke up from a nap and could hear my husband and kids downstairs and couldn't move my body.  My brain was fully alert and I tried to holler to my husband because I was scared to death and I couldn't even do that.  I eventually convinced myself that I was still sleeping and having a bad dream...I must have drifted off because when I woke up again I was fine.  That is bizzare enough in itself.

Stop thinking about it so much.  You are just worried about nothing.  You will be asleep for the surgery and you will NOT feel suffocated.  It's going to be sore, depending on what the surgeon is doing to your nose.  You should ask him/her about the recovery time and post-operative pain.  They will give you medication for it.

That's too funny. It would be like me waking up one morning to discover that I'm a Pterodactyl with psychedelic wings! I would be initially scared but then very happy

It depends on what kind of surgery you are having.  If it isn't something too big where you may get freaked out, then yes.  Otherwise the regular kind is just fine.

because the area that the surgery took place reflects on other places on your body.

Only when I wake up and take a look in the mirror now that's scary

yes, but have you ever woken up and not be able to move, or seen shadow out the corner of your eye

I would guess No...\n\nThis is because once your dead, your tissues, muscles, nerves , and organs aren't functioning.\n\nThis could be true if it were a couple seconds after his death... because it would be closely remniscent to a story where someones head got chopped off, andd he could see his own body from the ground. And that is a true stroy since your nerves in your head continue to funmction for a couple of seconds more...\n\n~LG23~
