Hi aap2!

congratulations on your colonoscopy without much ado! Good you tolerated it well. It's a fact, different individuals have different levels of tolerance to pain or discomfort. Some may need more analgesics/anesthetics especially if the level of anxiety is high.

On your other surgical procedures on outpatient basis, it is ok if you request for TIVA with propofol and fentanyl. Many procedures done on outpatient basis are done with these 2 drugs as both are short acting. If you had a pleasant experience with TIVA in an earlier surgical procedure, then go ahead and have the same anesthetics. I'm not familiar with abdominoplasty and the other procedure but your anesthesiologist would know best.

Thanks and regards,
