Are there different types of general anesthesia?

My first time going under general anesthesia was in March for my wisdom teeth removal. They gave me some gas as I was slowly drifting away, I hated it. I felt like life was being sucked away from me. It was supposed to calm me but I somehow fought it and panicked when I misunderstood a word. They said my veins were torturous and I thought they said torture. They stuck me with a IV and I was out. I woke up very giddy and talkative.

This past Monday I was going under again for my laser ablation to my cervix at the hospital. They put an IV in me and the anesthesiologist put some drug in it and wheeled me off. I remember seeing the operating room for one second and the next I’m waking up in recovery. I don’t remember them actually putting me out like at the oral surgeon, I wasn’t happy I was just tired. I liked this better because I didn’t feel life was being drawn out.
