it's my reaction to the anesthesia. Up until my last few surgeries, I've always been very tolerant of the anesthesia, but the last few have been pretty nasty. I get very sick and feel horrible for days.

I am a classical singer most of us fear major surgery, with it's nasty intubation process that
can wreck your voice. If it were me and the surgery was not major (like culling into gut)
were I would have to totally out I would ask about
a spinal and local anesthesia, ie numbing. IV sedation to induce sleep or near sleep. Last time I had oral surgery they used IV sodium pentathal.
