When I had my last child, I finally got some sleep only to be told the next morning I could not have any more of the "good drugs" for pain because I was "hallucinating". I had absolutely no memory of that and it was only later I figured out that i probably switched not hallucinated and that they interpreted it the way that seemed most logical to them. Too bad on the pain meds though, I have a very low tolerance for pain, argh!

All of that is to say they will not be freaked out or bummed out by any reaction you have after the anesthesia. They will just think that is how you react to their meds.

You will find it easier if you spend a lot of time beforehand "talking to your head" about everything that is going on. If all the parts know what is happening they will be less afraid and less likely to wig out on you afterwards. Also, remember that many people who do NOT have DID issues are very nervous about having surgery and scared about what they will experience. You are not as different as you worry you are. All the best!!!!!
