Why don't they put you under for a pallidotomy?
General anesthesia is not used for two reasons: first, the brain does not feel any pain ; second, the patient must be awake and responsive in order to respond to the neurosurgical team as they monitor the placement of the probe
Why would a surgeon choose to perform brain surgery while the patient is awake?
This may be chosen because the patient's conscious response to stimuli or voluntary actions must be measured to assure the appropriate outcome of the surgery and to influence the actions of the surgeon performing the surgery (as in, if the patient is asked to speak and the surgeon is operating in a part of the brain that controls these functions, if the patient's speech improves, then the surgery is successful - if the patient's speech becomes slurred or inarticulate, then the surgeon may need to do more or may need to stop now).

Why patient do not eat solid food after surgery?
Yes - it is normal to not be hungry after surgery. Surgery is commonly performed under general anesthesia. General anesthesia often causes not only loss of appetite but also nausea (one of the reasons they tell people not to eat before surgery). Once the nausea wears off however, it is fairly common to be very hungry since the patient usually hasn't eaten in a while. Just how long it takes for appetite to come back depends on how well the patient feels after the surgery. The worse they feel, the more likely they are to not feel hungry.
Preparations Before Bariatric Surgery?
There are many things a person can do to help themselves prepare before bariatric surgery. Before having the surgery performed, it is important that the patient fully understands what the surgery entails and the potential risks and complications that are involved. A consultation with a board certified physician can help a patient feel more prepared and be more knowledgeable about the surgery. Usually before a patient undergoes bariatric surgery, their doctor recommends that they start to eat a healthy diet and engage in an exercise program. If the patient is a smoker, it is also in their best interests to quit smoking at least a month before the procedure, which will lessen the risk of any complications during and after the surgery.
Is surgery painful?
sure it is =-D Generally, surgery is not painful. Patients feel pain after the surgery is completed. During most surgical procedures, the patient is under some type of anesthesia. General, local, and regional anesthetics are used by the doctor to either render the patient unconscious or awake, but unable to feel the pain of the procedure. After the anesthetic wears off, that is when patients usually feel post surgical pain. This pain can be managed by prescribed medications which will be introduced to the patient's body either intravenously or orally. Depending on the type and duration of the surgery, patients can have post surgical pain ranging from very mild to severe. In most cases though, that pain is effectively managed by the medications given after surgery.
