Sedation: You will be given IV medications to sedate you. Some people go deeper than others, but you should be arousable if they need to have you help them move you doing the procedure. Amnesia effect after the procedure from the medications. Not likely to remember any of it.

Normally,: Something to relax, some of the medications block your memory and you will think unconscious, you may fall asleep but it is not general anesthesia unless special circumstances.
