Has any of Dr. Shina's patients have any trouble with the NG tube?

Hi, I was told that the NG tube would remain in me after surgery for 6-8 hours postop and if everything went ok they would take it out. I really don't want to be awake while they take this out and have been told that I probably would still be under the affects of anesthesia when they do. Has anyone had to keep it in or had been awake while this was done?
