I had all of my wisdom teeth (I had 6 of 'em - must be why I'm so stupid now
) removed at the same time and all they did for me was the gas
mask - no IV or any kind of shots unless they did local in my mouth after they gassed me.
I remember the whole procedure, felt no pain at all - I could tell that my head was being pushed around by the way my body was moving, but that was
about it -
It was the day before Thanksgiving, so no turkey day for me that year - and there was Christmas music playing on the radio during the removal - I
remember the nurses laughing at me for tapping my feet and humming to "jingle bells" while I was "under" -
I don't know if I was 'supposed' to be completely out or just in la-la land, but they were aware that I was aware of what was going on, and that
didn't seem to bother them, so I guess I was just supposed to be numb instead of unconcious.

When I had my tonsils removed, I don't remember a thing - but you know how they tell you what you can and can't eat after something like that? Well
I was eating a cheeseburger and Doritos the day after my tonsilectomy - yeee-haaaa! (hurt like hell, but they weren't about to keep me away from
my junk-food
)
