I have no issues with anesthesia. Imagine getting your wisdom teeth pulled w/o it.
I have a very high pain tolerance, but I won't go w/o anesthetic if I'm going into surgery

I have had many times when I have had to go under anesthesia. Twice I have woken up during procedures, not as much fun as one might think. I have not had any problems. I have not had any seizures after my surgeries, but I think that is more because I take all my meds at night.
