It will be fine: You've had it before. And you will get less than what you had for surgery. You will be monitored continuously and people are ready to step in if you have any difficulties. Which you won't.

If you: Have an anesthesiologist monitoring you if you do stop breathing it will not be a problem. Versed is an alternative that is much less likely to stop breathing but not as pleasant overall
