Yes I have had this experience and the hard part is trying to tell the operating surgeon and nurses that you can feel and hear everything going on.
It is near impossible and I dread the thought of it happening again, because the pain is incredible and unconsciousness from the shock does not come.

I woke up during both of my C-sections, and on the first one they werer stapling me closed when it happened. I started moving as much as I could under the reminder of the anesthesia, and four people were needed to hold me still to inject more. The thing about it is that I don't remember it hurting, but know it to be true. My OB/GYN told me the next day 'we had to use a dose for a horse on you'. That's how I found out the details, and confirmed it had not been a dream. I am a fairly small person, so it's not that they under dosed me.
Then for the second one I woke up briefly, but the surgery was already over, although I still was in the OR. I tried to scream, but I couldn't. I was awake for about 2 minutes, then fell asleep again. I did not tell that doctor about the first one. I regret I didn't, it could've made a difference.

Yes, the only time I have ever been under general anesthetic (to have all 4 wisdom teeth removed) I woke up in the middle of operation. I was very groggy but remember almost drowning in blood while nurse had a tube down my throat and trying to suck the blood out of my mouth. They had to break my jaw to get all teeth out so I couldn't talk or yell - I heard someone say 'oh god he's awake' and then they knocked me out again. Don't remember feeling much pain - but it was extremely uncomfortable and I still remember it clearly over 15 years later....

Yes, during Carpel Tunnel surgery. I could feel the pain and I remember opening my eyes. And trying to say something. All I heard was, put her out. Next thing I remembered I was in recovery.

When I had my gall bladder removed, I woke up before I had left the OR. The surgery was finished and I was already closed up (thank goodness) but I was in incredible pain and had to bear it until they got me into the recovery room to give me morphine.
