I woke up during the last bit of my first cataract surgery (was awake through the entirety of the other one). I remember being in the hallway, waiting to be rolled into the surgery room and then waking up in a panic with one of the doctors calmly repeating, "Don't freak out."

Cataract surgeries you're typically awake for. Or rather, sleep isn't drug induced: you'll still be laying down in a quiet, dark room, so people sometimes fall asleep naturally (and then wake up naturally, understandably freaked out) but they generally won't give general anesthesia unless you really can't tolerate it.
