I found out sort of by accident that I have a uterine polyp--two doctors have recommended i get it removed.. it is a relatively simple procedure but i would still be under anesthesia--any concerns i should have since i have lyme, babs, and bart?

Sorry to hear about having to have surgery.

Yes, there are concerns. I am not able tonight to explain them all in detail, but maybe someone else can if their head is screwed on right.

Or you can do a search here on surgery. You should be able to find a good bit of information on the topic.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Is an epidural an option instead of general anesthesia?

My LLMD recommended an epidural over a general, I haven't had the surgery yet though.
