F/57 having hysteroscopy d&c for post menopausal bleeding i'll be under general anesthesia. what are my chances of not waking up? i'm so scared!!

General: Anesthesia in United States of America in approved surgical center by a qualified Anesthesiologist is relatively safe. However preoperative medical clearance will ensure individual risk is addressed
