    Brendan was 18 months when he went under a GA. They gave him the gas mask and he fell asleep within seconds, the hard part for me was that I was holding him and he went limp and his eyes rolled back. He was then taken off me put on the bed and wheeled in as I was escorted away. He had no issues whatsoever and woke up just as if it had never happened.

    Although his surgery was only about 5-10 mins (Tongue-Tie) the GA took about 30mins to wear off and for him to wake.

    It'll help me be a bit more positive around her when she's talking about it.

    My son was two months old when he had his first GA.
    He went in and out really well.
    He had a CT scan and he too needed a GA cause they needed him to lay still.
    He had another one at about 6-7 months and the most recent one is that he had part of his right lung removed at 12 months and he was fine through all three of them.
    I hope your friends baby has the same success we have never had any problems.
    They are a bit grissly throughout the day because they have been starved for so long before the GA and dont feel like eating after it and once they do they will let you know
