What happens with adjustable sutures? Did anyone here have it used on them?

Just wanted to know what would happen after you wake up do you just have it dangling out lmao
do you get given local anaesthesia and is it through the same way?
what would the surgeon do to adjust it and how would they know whether to adjust it or not if you just woke up?
Does she adjust it while your awake? If so wont you need to be still and not move them at all so im confused why you need local anaesthesia

Did anyone have surgery with complex strabismus?

I have a complex type of strabismus which i was born with i have large angle residual esotropia with large incomitant (changes at different gazes) vertical element (DVD)
Mine is A-pattern (not noticeable at downgaze but noticeable at upgaze) and i was wondering if anyone had surgery with something similar and how it went

I was severely bullied as a child since 11 years old and so i get really nervous and shaky when speaking to people because of how it looks and how they can notice it and so when people are speaking to me and we are maintaining eye contact sometimes i dont focus on what they are saying because of this and when they are telling me something or helping me understand something i just say things like “ohh” a lot of times and i think it sounds so rudee because they were not even finished and it sounds like im tryna make them just stop or im not interested in what they are saying but its just that im nervous and embarrassed

Another thing is when someone is speaking to me but im not even looking at them because of how embarrassed i am of it and if they at my right which means it would look really bad if i do it so i normally just do it if they are on my left but i feel like people find that rude and i hate that

Im probably going to have it in both eyes and what would it feel like? Would it hurt to open them and how long did it take you?
The pre-op nurse said i will probably stay around 2 hours after i wake up if anyone had theirs how long did you stay? (Please include the country you had the surgery in)

Im gonna get surgery soon im 16 and i just dont want my parents in the recovery room or until i get given anaesthesia would they allow that? And if they do would they ask me privately if everything is okay because this happened before but it was when i wanted to go to an appointment alone at 15
