MAOI's and surgery

When I started on Nardil, which is an MAOI, I was told not to mix them with Demerol and that surgery was not a good idea to have while on them.
I read some literature that suggested the fatalities that had occured during surgery were related to Demerol being given and not surgery as such.
By 2001, I was looking at having to have open heart surgery, with anesthesia time being 5 to 7 hrs. and very serious. The surgeons at Oregon Health and Sciences University hospital were going to go ahead and do surgery without taking me off Nardil. I was amazed this was so.
However, my body intervened and started to reacting adversely to the Nardil, and I had to go off of it pronto. It seems that the MAOI's are getting more respect and a more fair trail now, for which I'm glad. They helped me with a lot of problems.
