Question:
Is there any other way to have this surgery without going

i have never been put completely under anesthesia i had a c secton when i was 19 and was groggy and dont remember much but i was not as nervous as i am with this surgery because i have never heard of any one having a block or being slightly awake is that possible to be partially awake??????    — blank first name B.

I ready dont think, it can be done with block.. reason being ..with a block -- from waist down .. no feeling... your tummy is really above the waist , you would feel it.. But I do know some Doctors do -- lap... That means no scar - That what be from bottom of where your bra goings around to belly button....4 day hospital stay( if all goes well) Hmmmmm Lap sounds pretty good 4-6 small holes around belly button.. ( 2-day hospital stay) if all goes well

I was also very nervous about being put under. Mainly because when I had my c-section, they wouldn't do it because of my weight. I asked my surgeon, and he said they couldn't do it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I invisioned myself getting claustraphobic because the mask, and I was afraid of being put under to deep. All that was unnecessary. They just layed the mask on my face, 1 deep breath - maybe two and I the next thing I knew I was being awoken from the best dream. I think if I had it to do all over again, I would have tried harder to get them to put me to sleep when I had the c-section.
