this is what the doctor prescribed but they usually downplay things so you dont run away

Most likely, the Xanax will take the edge off so you're not so nervous. You will probably remember some things (maybe everything), but everyone is different.
I had Ativan (similar to Xanax) before my Lasik surgery, and I remember everything. I was calm and relaxed, though, and I HATE people messing with my eyes!
Just don't do what one of my patients did. She took 3 Xanax before her surgery and could barely walk into the office. She took forever to wake up after her anesthesia, and doesn't remember anything from the whole day. And she's a NURSE. Sigh.
You'll do fine. The local injection will burn, but only for a few seconds, and then you'll feel that something is going on, but it won't hurt. I've had a few surgeries under local with no sedation.

xanax, is a benzodiazipine, and as such has sedating effects, depending on the doseage, one could be totally sedated, or partially sedated, and one could experience amnesia of the surgery or not. It is all dose related.

STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU DISCUSS WITH ANESTHEOLOGIST NOT WITH INTERNET PEOPLE
