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!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
