Guest guest Posted July 12, 1999 Report Share Posted July 12, 1999 Kathy, Be sure to tell the anesthesilogosit.......anestesiolo.....aw hell, the person administering the " sleepy stuff " , that you may need a little more to do the trick. Rick has had surgery before, and has always needed a " double dose " to put him out. He told them that this time (they sorta interview you before going in) and they were ready. It actually took a " triple dose " , but they were ready for that. You can discuss your concerns with the " sleepy person " too. They should be able to put your mind at ease.
