Confused Bipolar Meds & Surgery

A friend of mine needs to have spinal surgery. The surgeons say that continuation of her bipolar meds, (i.e. abilify, lamictal, cymbalta and neurontin), during surgery will be a "problem". Does anyone have any idea what they are talking about? I cannot find any information online contraindicating the use of bipolar meds and anaesthesia. Are the surgeons worried that she will "act out" because she is bipolar and "ruin" their work?

HELP!!
