Urgent help before going into surgery
My friend has this 4 cm X 2 cm benign tumor in her left breast, with bilaterally reactive lymph nodes. She is having the tumor removed on monday, and it will be biopsied to know if it's cancerous in nature or just benign. She's doing the surgery under general anesthesia.
My question is, if you smoke the night before surgery, until the time before the surgery, and if you have vodka in your system right before surgery and anesthesia, as well as take a 200 mg tramadol tablet for the first time. Is there any complications that could happen to you? Would smoking or vodka or tramadol or having food in your system cause any interactions with the anesthesia or cause any complications, especially if you don't tell the doctors before the surgery that you have alcohol in your system, and that you're a heavy smoker (2 packs a day for a year now).
Thank you so much

I'm not a doctor so I'll leave that part up to one to answer...but please please tell your friend to be honest with her doctor about exactly what she has taken, smoked, and or drank before her surgery. You never know maybe all they would have to do is adjust amounts of what they give her. Risking her life to save a little face just isn't worth it! My thoughts and prayers are with her...hoping it isn't cancerous :)
