Before the cancer sugery the only other surgery I'd had under a general anesthetic was dental work, once for biopsy once for having all 4 wisdom teeth pulled.
Actually slightly woke up during both surgerys. Remember some of the dental work and the doc stitching me up after the biopsy. Doc said I took almost twice as much anashetic as normal.
So, one needs to make the anethetic doc aware if you're having this problem.
