Actually I've had 2 of them. The first they gave me regular anesthesia because I had "both ends done" - hopefully with different scopes.. It took me several hours before I was lucid, and I still vomited on the way home.

The second one - or "number two" if you will - was done with propofol. When they brought me out, I was immediately lucid, I stayed for 1 hour in recovery because they made me, and on the way home I got tacos.

I also had my tailbone amputated due to an old military injury causing severe pain. The operation only took 45 minutes, the anesthesia was propofol, and when they brought me out of it I felt so great I hopped off of the table and about gave them a heart-attack.

I point out propofol because that stuff is so different from the old general anesthesia. I completely understand why Michael Jackson would have a doctor give it to him to help him sleep. I have never felt so good and rested like I have after propofol. It feels to me like I caught up on all of my lost sleep, and have slept for a year.

Good one on anusthesia.
