Very flexible: Propofol can be adjusted from very light where you just feel tipsy to all the way asleep. Talk to your doctor about how asleep you wish to be and they will work with you.

Out: Propofol administered by an anesthesiologist should result in a very sedated state. You wil be "out" and have no recall of the procedure. No need to worry.
