So I'm going to be having a diagnosis laparoscopic surgery and the surgeon. Said he will uses general anesthesia and is going to sedate me preop but one of my closes friends received this surgery and got local anesthesia and he had told me that two of the best surgeons will be operating me and they uses extra co2 so I'm going to wake up super swollen what does that mean?
