Loopiness level: When I woke up I had gauze sticks in my mouth and said “I am the walrus, koo koo kjoo” and thought my Beatles reference was the funniest shit. That’s about all

The recovery may have been mildly annoying at times, but I don’t remember much about it, so it must not have been that bad. I think I ate some softer foods and maybe washed out where the teeth were?

the first time i ever went under i was a nervous wreck. i was 13 and i sobbed. this time around i was super lax. i said goodnight lol and i was out. waking up i was actually pretty coherent, still out of it but mostly aware of what was going on.

Anonymous OP 17w

not at all. I was just very loopy lol. my mom was with my and i kept saying i was dizzy but i was swinging my head around looking around and would fall back asleep. i don’t even remember much of the first time waking up. i totally understand how you’re feeling though and it is scary. you’re gonna be just fine <3 happy to answer any questions you have

once they start injecting the anastasia what does it feel like for the few seconds before you fall asleep? like does it feel like your falling or dizzy or smrh??

Anonymous OP 17w

not at all. it feels like the feeling you get right when you’re about to fall asleep. it’s very quick, but it just feels like the feeling you have when you’re falling asleep. you don’t feel anything else at all. it’s the easiest part of it. they’ll tell you to count back from 100 and you’ll only make it to 97 lol. it can be scary if you let it, but think of it as a nap. cause honestly it’s a nice ass nap lmao. don’t worry yourself sick-it’s all going to be okay!!

it’s so hard, bc i know logically im gonna be fine. i know ill wake up, might feel a little funny. but it’ll wear off and rhen for the rest of the week i just chill. logically, i know that. but the what ifs consume me and make me so so scared. i also dont wanna wake up all in a panic and all numb. how long did it take for the numbing to wear off for you

Anonymous OP 17w

i totally understand how you’re feeling and not worrying is much easier said than done. you can’t control how you’ll react after you wake up, but chances are you will be perfectly fine. if you’re thinking “numb” as in like sleep paralysis, it’s not anything like that. it’s like if you were to ding your elbow. it just feels funny but it doesn’t scare you, if that makes sense. the numbness maybe lasted like the rest of the day i had it done? the first time i went under i was so terrified so (1/2)

Seconding what #4 said about going under. They had me count, and I was like “I wonder when I’m going to start feeling weird” and almost immediately I was just like “oh nvm I’m sleepy, bye for now”

i completely get it. try your best to tell yourself that your body is in control and these minor procedures are done every day! and probably more than half the people you know have had it too. perhaps you’re heard stories of people coming out of surgery and being sick, scared, etc. but those things usually happen with major surgeries where you are under anesthesia for a longer period of time. (2/2)

i know. ik it’s so so noninvasive. and ik that very few people get sick from this procedure. it’s probably the most common surgery to be performed. i’m also reminding myself that ppl go under by choice for cosmetic surgery, bc that’s how safe it is. ik that once i get home that day, eat smrh, and take a nap i will start feeling better already. ugh. i hate that i am this anxious. my appt is two months away.

A little silly and vague. It wasn’t tripping balls or anything like that, I was juuust out of it enough that it helped to have my mom guide me to the car. The world looked normal, I just wasn’t very smart for a bit lol. I don’t remember how long any mental or physical numbness lasted.
