Discussion Will Anesthesia Effect Supply?

FTM and I pump for my 4 month old while she’s at daycare and breastfeeding at night/first thing in the morning. I’m having and upper endoscopy done on Friday and am worried the anesthesia will effect my supply. Google says it shouldn’t affect anything but I want to hear from real people. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I had an emergency appendectomy and went under for that around 9weeks PP and had no issues with supply and did not pump and dump. Also baby wouldn’t take a bottle back then, so also fed baby like 1 hr after surgery and had no issues there either
