Death will be like waking up somewhere else with no sense of time having passed?

That's a misquote/misunderstanding of OP's point. The point was rather that the quality of being in anesthesia is likely very similar, if not the same, as the quality of being dead, i.e. no qualia at all (at least, if anesthesia was done properly).
