“Do they put you to sleep for spine surgery?”
I am a 40 year old female. I will have spine fusion surgery. Do they put you to sleep for spine surgery?

Yes spinal surgery usually requires general anesthesia.
Obviously yes
Yes, you definitely would not want this type of surgery performed while you are awake. There is no regional anesthesia for spine surgery, so this will definitely be general surgery. You will be asleep for the duration of the procedure.
Absolutely, general anesthesia is the standard of care for the duration of the procedure.
Good luck with your surgery,
