[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Anesthesia CAN make you ill but I was told that is not the norm.[/b]

OP, I had my wisdom teeth out this summer. It was also the first time I had been under, like you. It was not a big deal. I was so thankful as I had been terrified.

I woke up, didn't even realize time had passed, went home and slept and read on my Ipad. No biggie. Now I feel like it is something I will not be afraid of in the future. Hope it goes as well for you.[/quote]

Totally agree with the bolded statement.

I have had several procedures/surgeries in my life involving varying degrees of anesthesia. Once was surgery on my eyes as a child. I was inpatient for like 4 or 5 days (now that procedure is outpatient). I threw up several times after that surgery, allegedly due to the anesthesia. I remember my mom telling me it was because the surgery was "on my head" and that the anesthesia can be harder since it was at my head. Is that true? No idea. Could my age have been a factor? Sure! But I really have no idea.

All the other surgeries were a piece of cake with regards to the anesthesia. Once the nurse said "Count backwards from 10" and I think I made it as far as 8. :-)
