Loose clothing: bec...Hope your surgery went well!<br /><br />Loose clothing: because squeezing into leather pants and tube top is markedly harder after getting anesthesia<br /><br />Jewelry and metal: the wonder of modern electrocautery. It's the way surgeons keep people from bleeding when they operate. Way it works is a pad is put on your body (usually the thigh) and connected to a machine. The bovie (like a pen with a metal tip) is in the surgeons hand. When he hits a button, it completes a circuit between the patient and the machine, with an arc happening at the tip of the bovie. This cauterizes bleeding.<br /><br />Now imagine you have a piece of metal in your body that gets in the way of that circuit. It is possible (not 100%, but not 0) that the tissue around the metal piece would also cauterize. Sizzle goes your tongue.<br /><br />And yes, the eating restrictions are extremely important. Nothing will land you in the ICU faster than - literally - inhaling your breakfast while under anesthesia.<br /><br />From: a devoted blog reader and practicing anesthesiologist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-34663830914329099742010-11-10T12:32:58.828-06:002010-11-10T12:32:58.828-06:00Leslie,

It's the one drug where I've got to worry about what I say. Apparently I had a very humorous phone conversation with a good friend while on Darvocet eight years ago. She still reminds me of it everytime we have lunch.Suzan Hardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600258874634909988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-86729086823060078852010-11-10T09:40:21.819-06:002010-11-10T09:40:21.819-06:00I will be doing "hump" removal on my foo...I will be doing "hump" removal on my foot at the beginning of next year.
