Yes, I've had surgeries since I had MG. Make sure the surgeon, anaesthesiologist, and nurses know that you have MG when you check in for surgery. They will adjust your medications for surgery, and should monitor you when you get out of surgery, also, to make sure you are feeling well. Try to take good care of yourself in the days leading up to surgery, as well as taking good care of yourself afterwards. Sometimes general anaesthesia can cause some difficulty for myasthenia gravis patients, so let them know if you are feeling any weakness or having trouble breathing, etc. However, anaesthesiologists and doctors have gotten much more aware of the problems related to MG, in my experience, and are being as careful as they can with anesthetics. Hopefully you will get through the surgery well and you'll be feeling better soon. Sending lots of good wishes!

Take care,
Erin
