Probably..: Sorry to hear you had a problem. In experienced hands, Propofol is an excellent component of general anesthesia. Speaking to your colonoscopist about your past experience should give you other options and allay your concerns.

See below: The anesthesiologist probably used Propofol to put you to sleep for the hysterectomy. However, this is not the drug they used to keep you asleep during the operation. Any problems that you experienced are probably with the other agents they used. Talk to your anesthesiologist about your concerns.
