Someone please put my mind at ease!

the tube part. Do they take that out before you wake up? They have a machine that detects your brain activity so it can detect  anastesia (not spelled right)  awareness. So i have read, I am going to make Dr steiner aware of my fear.  I am going to St josephs in lexington, ky to have my surgery. I feel a little better about all this.

It's always been out before i've woken up.  I usually have trouble with having the walls of my esophagus scraped either when they insert or remove the tube (they even use a pediatric size tube on me but it still happens).  Have Dr. Shina put a bottle of Chloroseptic spray on your medical orders before you get too loopy on the juice to remember.  Dr. Larson did this for me and it was wonderful to use those first 48 hours by which time things are fine again.  Just remember that until they do the swallow study the next day (the do this for RNY too right?) you'll have to swish and spit as much of it as you can.
