kolie · 01-18-2007, 03:33 PM

I had general my first time around and am scheaduled for twilight for repair. For those of you ladies who have had both, which do you prefer?

scoobs · 01-18-2007, 03:36 PM

i defo prefer to be knocked out, i would freak out if i woke up mid operation.

pam · 01-18-2007, 04:14 PM

I had general and I'm with Sue. I would freak if I woke up in the middle of surgery.

Suprmama · 01-18-2007, 04:33 PM

Sleeping thank God! I did not want to be there - besides I thought you needed to be put under general if you were getting unders so they could relax your pec muscles.

Im a wuss, so if its offered, I prefer general...I had contraceptive implants put in my arm once at the docs surgery awake, with a local anaesthetic, and omg did I feel ill

I had general anesthesia for my breast augmentation.
I do prefer general over twilight, I have had twilight for some dental work.

GENERAL, lol. I am a HUGE wuss and if it's gonna cause me pain, I want to be KNOCKED OUT and not feel anything!! I'm getting ready to have some dental work done and he's giving me GAS, I am freaking!

tallulah76 · 01-19-2007, 02:41 PM

I had twilight and was completely out of it - for all I was aware of, it may as well have been a GA but I was happy with my choice and would do so again if needed.

alblank · 01-19-2007, 02:49 PM

The first PS I had a consult with used twillight and that scared the mess out of me!! haha. I eventually chose a great doctor who just happened to use general. I was very pleased with not knowing a thing happened until practically the next day...

pla · 01-29-2007, 05:58 PM

i had general
i don't think i'd mind the other type either, I am sure you can't feel a thing or they wouldn't do it!!
but yes, the idea of being concious while it's all happening is kinda weird
unless you are so cold blooded that you can actually participate and tell the doc.. " oh no, Go BIGGER than that!!! .. a little bigger still.... hummm, ok, let's see a little bigger now... Nah, that's too much, back to where we were and we're perfect~~~!!!!"

hehe.. just kidding, but wouldn;t it be AWESOME to literally CHOSE your size on you??? haha

I had general.. I don't think I would of liked the other kind either.

Pattibee · 02-04-2007, 06:55 PM

I will be having General.

Slinky · 02-04-2007, 09:32 PM

I will be having Twilight. Never had General so I can't compare them.

hortongirl · 02-05-2007, 10:53 PM

I've had two procedures and with both I had general, but they were different. I got the chatters with both, but with this one, I got a really sore throat. I wasn't expecting that and could rememdy it with gargling with warm water and salt, but baby when I got home I wanted to gargle on NOTHING but a pillow! LOL

kherold · 02-06-2007, 11:32 AM

Def. general... I dont think I could be awake in the slightest bit! Tooo scary!

Sunny Mc · 02-06-2007, 03:15 PM

I want to be OUT!! Not remember anything, OUT!!

CATCOOPER · 02-10-2007, 12:38 PM

I went for general and I think it was the best . I felt a sleep woke up and I had boobs.

terriml · 02-14-2007, 07:03 PM

My surgeon uses twilight but they told me that you are still asleep - as a patient, you aren't supposed to know the difference - but your body can still breathe on its own and you are sleeping just below the conscience level as opposed to deep, deep sleep. I'm nervous now - and I have my pre-op next week, so I will definately be asking for further clarification.... they told me they prefer twilight because they don't have to use a breathing tube and the recover process is easier for patient (I'm presuming they meant the recovery room - getting ready to leave and go home .... not the ENTIRE recovery process).

I had general with both breast augmentation and revison. It's what my PS prefers.
