Anaesthesia truth telling.....

What is it that you need to ask him? Maybe someone will be able to help with that.
Once when I was in recovery I told whoever was shouting beside me that I was winning a very important game of chess and they needed to be quiet, i can't even play chess 🤣

I was back to normal by the time I was on the ward. No idea if I said anything weird to staff in recovery but I was totally lucid and with it when they moved me to ward. I texted my husband to say I was out of surgery and then had a sandwich. I did feel quite euphoric but it was not some sort of truth serum!

I had a GA and on Tuesday , I do remember telling the nurse in recovery I was ready to go home now and that I needed a wee
She laughed and got me a bed pan , 2 days later I’m hoping to have my drains out and go home .

Totally agree.
Too much you tube or tik tok or whatever.

On here, people mostly point out that if you’re snooping on your spouse’s phone for evidence he’s shagging Brenda from Accounts, then you’ve got more problems than Brenda.

If you’re confusing a general anaesthetic with Veritaserum, likewise.

OP, if you love your husband and he has denied something, why won’t you do him the courtesy of believing him? If he’s a good man and a kind husband, no good will come of your endless suspicions and probing.

This is a ridiculous thread..

I've had 5 GA. The last one, I remember them telling me they were going to remove the breathing tube, then the sensation of it coming out, then the trying to wake me up, then the craziness of me not breathing for an hour or so in recovery. So not everyone is oblivious.

I remember all the conversations I had in recovery.

Op I don't think this will work. You are confusing it with sedation - like those videos people make of post wisdom teeth surgery in the US when they are off their tits on whatever drug they've been given.

That is… surrealistic. Did he actually use the words ‘exchange pleasantries’?

I have no idea if I said anything weird after my GA. It was a true emergency C-section so DH and I were both just happy that DS and I were alive. Just like with my other births, if I said or did anything I would find embarrassing, my lovely DH has kept that to himself rather than use it as a way to humiliate me. By a few hours afterwards, I was back to normal and being completely aware of what I was saying.

It sounds like you’d like to take advantage of your DH’s vulnerability. You sound great… not! Do you suspect he’s cheated or murdered someone? If you don’t trust him, leave him.

General anesthetic only makes you say things (mainly crap) when you're first coming out off it which will be in the operating room and recovery room the person saying it will have no memory off this period off time. As soon as your back on the ward majority off people eat something fall back to sleep and then when they wake up are completely back to normal they definitely aren't saying things days later

I wasn’t even aware of this! I had GA for a miscarriage procedure but don’t remember saying anything weird, I just remember crying (understandable considering what had happened). How strange. I honestly have never heard of being telling the truth or hallucinating following GA.

When recovering from an op, my husband told me he has seen a lizard wearing a monocle and that they had exchanged pleasantries. I wouldn’t place too much weight on anything he says at this point. You won’t get any answers.

This. I had a GA earlier this year. I don't recall spouting any rubbish after the surgery and by the time I was back on the ward I was absolutely back to normal. He won't be affected by the GA to that extent days later.

Or maybe there are, and they think you are both an absolute fool and also have questionable morals to even be thinking this in the first place (as silly as it is), and they can’t be bothered responding to you.

Why would you think a GA would affect his ability to lie days after an op?

I’ve had anaesthesia.

you talk complete rubbish about what’s in your head (usually random dreams).

never heard anything about people telling the truth. I was more likely to hallucinate

When I came around, I kept complaining my flight was late. Didn't even have a future trip booked or planned

From: personal experience I woke up and told one of the blokes in the operating theatre - recovery room, probably - that he was very handsome. Then went on to spout some shit about Ricky Gervais telling it like it is and how I wasn’t a Nazi.

make of that what you will!

PS. I love Ricky.

no, shit that comes out of someone's mouth while coming out of anesthetic is trash "there's a squirrel", much later, "i want that squirrel", much later, "i want my squirrel stew" ridiculous nonsense. "ohhhhh, ohhhhh, my teeth, i don't know where my teeth are"
and once the pentobarbital wears off (generally when in the recovery room) they are relaxed but aware (so you missed your pathetic opportunity).
the pain meds they are sent home with are not truth serums.
if you think your partner is a liar this "opportunity" will NOT help dispel or confirm your suspicions.
i've been at the side of hundreds of people both going under and coming out of anesthetic.
where did you get this wild idea from? tv? a book? i really find it hard to believe someone with any basic education would think this. do you equally think drunks tell the truth?

Yes he is more likely to tell you something that he has lied about before, but equally it could be that he makes up random nonsense or agrees to anything.

It’s a bit dodgy though to probe him like that when he is coming out of sedation…I would feel violated…it would be like rooting through his phone.
