Can they put the IV in after you are asleep....I had a horrible experience and now am

absolutely terrified. I lost the feeling in three fingers for 4 months last time I had an IV. The nurse about killed me and then did some nerve damage. I do shots and blookwork ok, but the pain of surgery doesn't even make me cringe...it's that darn needle!! Do they still put you under with "gas" and then they could wire me up??? Or, could you tell me what I can expect in the way of poking and prodding on the day of my surgery???
