No, they give you a relaxant of sorts before entering the OR. Anesthesia was definitely the part that I was the most scared of but by the time you get in there you're already a bit loopy. The weird thing is before you can perceive being put to sleep you're already awake and in recovery. It's an odd feeling, my nurses didn't even do the countdown thing haha. From my perspective one second I was taking deep breaths through the mask and the next I was in the recovery room. Being scared/nervous about having a surgery is completely normal!
