    I felt myself falling asleep, then seemingly immediately blink awake. I said, “Doc, I don’t think the anesthesia is working,” and he said, “Ha, no man, we’re done.”

    Like you said, the prep was the worst part. There is no joy in daily living without food.

      Same here. I’ve been put under twice and both times it basically just felt like a longer than normal blink and I felt a little slow afterwords.

      I woke up in the middle of mine, got to watch the second half. Was interesting, but it probably helps to still be under the after effects ify the anyways. But definitely, there prep is worse than the actual procedure.
