It's not going under that's the problem for me, it's the havoc I create in the RR after the operation. It's a part of me I know NOTHING about in my regular day to day life. Now, if they want to give me the Michael Jackson juice, I'll take that any day - easy peasy - that's the bomb, and what they often use for colonoscopies. But heavier sedation is usually needed for surgery. I know things have improved over the years though and I haven't had a major operation since the '90's, thank goodness.
