Have you ever been given 'general anesthesia'?

How would you describe the experience?

[Ymyyakhtakh]

I passed out so fast that I don't remember what it felt like during the anesthesia. After I woke up, I felt really sick, and I kept puking for about 5-10 hours so I had to be kept in the hospital. I was told that about a tenth of people have a reaction like that to anesthesia.

Maybe I just have a weak body, because the few times I tried alcohol, it also just made me sick and it make me puke really bad. Maybe it's better if I'm extra-sensitive to toxins, so I will instinctively avoid being exposed to them.

5 times, 3 times broken hands.

You just feel sleepy and then you wake up, I felt pretty good, like after good sleep XD

Once when I was a child, for a hernia surgery, which fortunately was a simple procedure.

They put the mask on me, told me to count to ten, I got to about 5 and passed out. I woke up an hour later but it felt as if I had closed my eyes for only 1 minute or so.

Twice. it's very satisfying waking up from it and you're dozy for a while after.

pretty much like what you see in film, hazy pass out to eyes closed- then you're awake with everyone around you. i recall the injection site being painful, and generally not feeling good after waking up.
