i hope this isn't too prying of a question, but im really wanting top surgery myself, and was wondering if you had to be asleep for the procedure? im really scared of being put under due to my weight, so i was curious if there are ways to get it done without that!
I did yes and i imagine you always have to be asleep. They take in your weight and bmi and things to make sure you get the right amount to keep you alseep. I was super scared about going under but the anethnatist was really nice and they are there to keep an eye on everything! The risk of waking up or anything is really low cause they can keep an eye on your heart rate and your breathing so theyd spot any changes.
Going under was not as scary as i thought it would be though they put a oxygen mask on me and injected me with this really cold liquid all i remember is feeling a little dizzy then waking up, i dont remember falling asleep or closing my eyes it happens so quickly it honestly feels like a dream now
Its different for everyone though so if you are looking to get it done, discuss it all with your surgeon when you find the right one for you, they can help talk you threw everything!
