It is totally understandable to be scared of going under anesthesia to surgery. Anesthesia is very safe and the incidence of people not waking up is very low. I would encourage you to discuss these concerns with your anesthesiologist on the day of surgery or before that if you have a preoperative appointment with an anesthesia preoperative assessment clinic. The anesthesia department can also have someone call you to discuss your personal risk factors for this happening, if any. Sometimes your anesthesia technique can be modified to avoid full general anesthesia but this depends on your surgery and your surgeon.
