But sedation and G.A. are 2 separate things right? Coz my doc said that I will be only sedated for the scopes, but I will be put to sleep for the hemorrhoids removal.

hey winnie.
with sedation, they generally give you versed (sp), which makes you sleepy, but erases your memory of the entire event. its actually quite nice, and recommend it!
sedation is less risky than GA. with sedation, you don't need to have a breathing tube. your vitals are still monitored, so don't worry about that.
i've had both of your upcoming procedures done, and everything went fine for me, and i'm sure you'll do just a great. let me know if you have a questions about either procedure.
