Anyone else wake up in the OR?

I don't want to scare anyone who hasn't had this yet, but would really be curious if anyone else had similar experience. I woke up fully in the Operating Room just before they took the tube out of my mouth. I was unable to get pain relief until I got to recovery and they finished up in the OR. I was in terrible pain. Everything I read is about people waking up in the Recovery room with pain already under control. I was supposed to have LAVH, but due to the extent of the endo I had a TAH.
Thanks for input!

I woke out of my twilight sedation and couple of times, but they quickly put back to "out of it". They would ask if I felt anything, and then out I went again. I had a spinal.

I feel for you. I did not have this experience with my TAH, but did with my lap in 1995. Indescribably excruciating and frightening especially as that was my first time in a hospital. I am so sorry you went through that. I did tell my dr prior to my hyst as O was terrified and he set me up w/the anaesthesiologist prior to make sure it did not happen again. This time I did not wake up until I was in recovery.

My prayers for your peace of mind.

I had a spinal and at one point felt very sharply many quick slices of cutting pain toward my front inside. It woke me from my twilight sleep and when I told the anesthesiologist it hurt she gave me something and I was out the rest of the operation.

Not a good experience.

I woke up in the OR too. I think they must have been wrapping things up, because I didn't feel any pain of any kind. I even talked to my dr. When he went and talked to my family, he told them that about it and he had never had that happened before. LOL

OMG - You scare me to death. I am sorry this happened to you. My biggest fear! Thank goodness I haven 't ever had to experience this.

Hi, I had a spinal....was awake thru the whole surgery and had a wonderful chat with the anaesthesiologist.. I had TVH, A&P repairs + TOT sling...I felt NO Pain. Grace

That is scary. After my TAH I work up in pain, but it was in the recovery room. I would have been really upset if I woke up feeling that way and I was still in the OR.

I told my doctor waking up in the OR was one of my biggest fears. She said the OR team would make sure that did not happen.
I am so sorry that happened to you.
