I am 5 weeks post-op and in all my preparation no one ever had a concern. It was always noted on my medical history and they asked if it was controlled. The steroids in some of your medications may hinder healing. It is the time of year I am not on any of those so that was not addressed for me either.

Hello-

I have asthma too and have been worrying about the same thing..I found some web pages you may want to check out. I haven't been sleeved yet, hope to be by next Spring, but I went under a general anesthesia several years ago for gallbladder removal and had some complications. My surgeon told my husband "I was allergic" to the anesthetic gas so they had to do some adjusting. Also I had some coughing afterwards. I never asked any specific questions at the time, but now that I'm considering another surgery, I'm thinking of requesting my records to figure out exactly what may have gone wrong, and to forward that info to my weightloss surgeon.
