There is no reason to get worried now!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this fear related to anesthesia. It doesn't cause memory loss. It is very safe. Anesthesia has become very safe and there is just nothing to be afraid of. There are persons who get daily anesthesia and they are doing just fine. I wish you the best of all possible outcome with your surgery. There is no fear about this anesthesia related to side effects at this time.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask of more information and clarifications if need be.
