Does anybody have a memory of waking up from the surgery with the breathing tubes in their throat? This is my biggest fear.

YES,, I made sure I told dr. and anestisialogist(n I know i spelled nit wrong) please take out before i wake up or I will have a panic attack... I was told they need to keep in but will take out while i was waking up and i wouldnt feel anything.. I didnt feel or remember them taking it out ... So by all means let them kno ... :blink:

I didn't have any when I woke up. I think (just my thoughts) with the VSG you're not under long enough to warrant the doc keeping them in until or after you wake up. I haven't heard of anyone waking up with the breathing tube still in.

No memory of the breathing tube - BUT before they put my out, they were tying my arms down and THAT was weird. I would have panicked, but I was taken off to sleep about 2 seconds after that...

Mine was out. chances are you will wake up to a friendly face asking you if you would like to wake up now.

Good luck!
