You do want them to knock you for the surgery.
Would you want to be under Local Anesthesia and hear the Doc say "OOPS!"
Or, he says "all done, I am missing one of my surgical pieces, did anyone leave it in there?"
They definitely put you under.
My daughter came home the day of the surgery and said I was funny as hell when I was coming out of anesthesia.
