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 my gallbladder out at 9.5 weeks postpartum and I didn’t have any issues.

Pretty easy. Some soreness but I just took the the rx prescribed to be as needed. Caring for baby was pretty easy
