need advice on surgery

[asyraf]

hye all!
yesterday i went to the specialist and had a talk about my possible surgery. the problem im having right now is money factor. total cost would be $7500. but if i dont use anesthetic, the cost will reduce to $5500 only.

my question is, is it wise for me to have the surgery without anesthetic?the doctor said ill be sleeping throughout the operation.

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

For most patients with average size gyne, either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation is the preferred way to go.  Local anesthesia alone -- without sedation -- can be exceedingly painful and as a result, the surgeon may not be able to do a thorough job.  Just my humble opinion.
