How safe is it to get anesthesia before getting a polyp removed?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

It is called general anesthesia. Propofol is an intravenous, very short-acting anesthetic. The anesthetist will control your breathing. It is a routine procedure.

You can take Xanax. It will calm and relax you.

Where is the polyp, you have yet to mention? If they are using Propofol, it will be a short procedure.

Please do not worry.

Hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

Hi,

Do not worry, it will take a maximum of one hour. As you are overweight, they will insert a small tube-like thing when you happily sleep under anesthesia. You will not even know when it is inserted or removed. You may have a scratchy feeling after surgery, and you will be given opioids for pain.

Now general anesthesia is advanced and safe. Short acting medications and safe anesthetics are available.

Surgery is a minor one. So, do not worry and do not take any stimulants, and sleep well.

Please do reply to me when the surgery is done.

Hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.
