Could I Ever Wake Up During a Tummy Tuck? I Did During My C-Section.

When I had my emergency C-section, I remember feeling a lot of pain, so they put me to sleep and I remember waking up during the middle of the C- section. They told me they couldn't give me anymore anesthesia, because it would be fatal amount. I always wondered why I woke up. And does this mean that I might wake up during a tummy tuck procedure?
