“Can you be awake for shoulder surgery?”
I am a 40 year old female. I want to know if you can be awake for shoulder surgery?

Yes
If you accept an interscalene nerve block from your anesthesiologist, it can numb your shoulder and arm completely for nearly all shoulder surgeries and you can be given light-to-moderate sedation as needed to make the experience more comfortable and relaxing.
Yes, with an interscalene regional anesthetic block.
