I am having cosmetic surgery next week... where I will have an epidural and a twilight anethesia... having a history of bulimia.. does it put me at risk with the anesthesia?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A history of bulimia is not likely to affect the epidural anaesthesia you will be put under. Please do not worry and be relaxed. You are not at any increased risk due to this.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
