Hi, i am having a D & C in a week i am also anorexic i know makes no sense, 46 yrs old and have had my period for 20 days now, after not having it for a long time. so my question is , is it safe to undergo anestesia(sp) at a weight of 97lbs and blood pressure of 90/60? i am so nervous about this. any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

It's good you are concerned and seeking help. I'm not sure if you are going to get any good answers here though. Have you addressed all of this with your doctor/surgeon yet? What type of anesthesia will be used? I'd be sure to talk to the anesthesiologist (if one will be administering) as well as the doctors involved-just to cover all your bases. Nurses can sometimes be more helpful with details too.

Think of it this way tiny newborns go under general anesthesia every day with horrible conditions. So I'm sure you'll be fine. Love Phillipa and blood testing before surgery must have shown anemia. Maybe iron supplements.
