You're entitled to your beliefs but I can't believe I'm even hearing this.Do you really want the postoperative hangovers and possible vomiting and all sorts of unpleaasantry that may or may not happen after anaesthesia, not to mention the mixture of psychiatric medications and using the right anaesthetic amounts to not affect MAOIs? And to have your abdomen cut open, a laparoscopy or not, leaving a possible scar ?
Panic attacks come in a wide variety of forms and there are many methods of treating them, including non-medication.Panic attacks are part and parcel of the autonomic nervous system gone awry among other parts of the brain, and thus you can get any response from the more primitive part of the brain stem including all described.
