THE last thing Natasha Japhet expected going into a gallbladder operation was to wake up midway through. <\/p>\n

But wake up she did. The mum-of-four tried to alert doctors that she'd come to but, to her horror, no words came out of her mouth. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old chef and mum from Llanaelhaearn in Gwynedd, Wales, went to get her gallbladder removed on September 19. <\/p>\n

She claims to have woken up on the operating table midway through the procedure. <\/p>\n

Natasha told North Wales Live: "All I remember was I woke up during the operation. I was aware and I heard voices around me asking for the camera. I felt like I couldn't breathe. <\/p>\n

"I was screaming in my head but I was paralysed because I couldn't move. But I couldn't tell them."<\/p>\n

Natasha claims to have felt everything her surgeons were doing, saying she 'passed out' from the pain of having two rods inserted into her stomach. <\/p>\n

The mum said doctors became aware something was amiss when she woke up again a little later. <\/p>\n

"There were voices around me and then I heard 'Oh my God – she's awake. Do something'," she claimed.<\/p>\n

"I think they must have done something then to put me back to sleep properly this time. And when I did come round in recovery, the anaesthetist started questioning me straight away."<\/p>\n

Natasha was asked about what she remembered while being under anaesthesia, she told North Wales Live. <\/p>\n

After recounting her harrowing experience, the mum was asked to give a statement to medical staff. <\/p>\n

Natasha is now recovering from her operation at home. <\/p>\n

She said her friends and family were shocked and angry hearing about her ordeal, saying it 'should never have happened' and urging her to submit a complaint. <\/p>\n

North Wales Live reported that officials from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board – who overseas the Ysbyty Gwynedd hospital where the operation took place – will meet with Natasha and her family this week to discuss her complaint. <\/p>\n

Dr Nick Lyons, BCUHB\u2019s executive medical director, told Sun Health: "We are extremely sorry to hear of this patient's experience. It is not what we would wish for anyone using our services.<\/p>\n

"This is now being investigated, so we can fully understand what happened, and the patient will be fully involved in the process.<\/p>\n

"We would urge anyone who receives care below the standard they would expect to contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS), in the first instance," Dr Lyons added. <\/p>\n

He provided the PALS team contact details, who can be reached via phone or email at 03000 851234 BCU.PALS@wales.nhs.uk. <\/p>\n

The mum – who is on maternity leave after the birth of her fourth child – has come away from her experience with more than the scars of her operation. <\/p>\n
