IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I COULD WAKE UP DURING SURGERY?

-

This is highly unlikely. There is a 1 in 40,000 chance that you will stop feeling the effects of the anaesthesi­a while you are still on the operating table and “wake up”. Your anaestheti­st will be there with you in theatre, monitoring how you are responding, and will keep topping up the anaestheti­c drugs for as long as they are needed.
