Tummy Tuck and Liposuction. I Woke Up During My Procedure and It was Extremely Painful. Is That Normal?

yvette in los angeles
I just had a tummy tuck done and I woke up in the middle of the surgery. Is that normal because it was very painful and they put me back to sleep and I woke up right when he was sewing me up. Can someone tell me if this is normal?
