If it helps im a small girl weight 95 to 100 pounds height 5'2 and really healthy I talk to 2 doctor and 1 uses general anesthesia and 1 uses iv sedation Im scare to go for one of the doctors and be the wrong decision. I asked each doctor about every anesthesia and all of then bring down what they are not using in a bad way meaning complications. So i cant make up my mind. Please help!
