Upcoming myo ... general vs. spinal anesthesia?

[Guest guest]

I recently learned that I have a choice regarding anesthesia for my

myomectomy scheduled for September 11. My doctor told me that I can

have general anesthesia or a spinal (I guess that would be an

epidural?) with sedation (as I don't want to know what's happening

during surgery). I'm planning to call the anesthesiology group out

of which my anesthesiologist will be assigned to discuss these

options and the relevant pros and cons. But I'd love to hear from

some of you who have recent experience with one or both of these

choices. I know about the potential nausea problems - possibly with

both methods? If you could share with me your experience with

either of these (or if you've had both and can compare/contrast),

I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks!
