Surgery without been put under

[johnny_english]

Hi All,
I suffer from Sleep Apnoea,  and my last major surgery in hospital they wouldn't use a general anaesthetic on me, and chose for epidural. When I finally decide to have surgery has anybody had the op just under sedation? is this possible? 

Thanks for any reply's

Yes plenty of doctors do it like that, search youtube Lebowitz Plastic  surgery gynecomastia, patient is completely awake through entire thing.
