Hi rezmommy,
I've not had the thymectomy (sadly) but i have had an anesthetic induced crisis so i thought I'd add my 2 cents. Apparently I'm psuedo-cholinesterase deficient (I think a lot of myaesthenics are) so I can only have a certain type of anaesthetic - the doctor knew which type. It's a simple blood test to see if you are deficient. I also required more "reversal" medications to revive me after the surgery. I've had three other surgeries after my crisis and no other problems, so don't be concerned. Once the doctors know you have MG they'll take excellent care of you.
I should explain that the surgery which caused my crisis was done before I had a diagnosis of MG so they thought I was just a healthy 24 year old.
Good luck with everything! I'm jealous a little bit - is that wrong? Hee hee.
