We did about this in history at school. They said that many people fainted or died from shock as a result of the pain. However, a letter written by a man who had undergone this operation said that he recalled seeing his bloody limb lying on the floor at the end of it, which suggests he did not faint but was conscious throughout.

There are people in Aussie that have had a leg taken off by a white pointer shark and have remained conscious,but maybe not for long,however if you do not get medical help,you may die of shock or loss of blood if the bleeding is not controlled..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<.. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-02-19/queensland-shark-attack-victim-glenn-dickson-critical-surgery/8283990

back in civil war days when they amputated a leg, they did it with chloroform and if the ran out of that, they had the patient drink a lot of Whiskey . If they ran out of that, they did it with no anesthetic, b/c it's better to save a life than a limb........they used to tell us in girl scouts when teaching tourniquet techniques.
