hi
you are saing that you have used tylenol 3000mg/day and this is a major cause of elevated liver pannel.
with regard to surgery yes anesthesia may cause elevated liver pannnel.
I am glad to know that you have stoped medication, but the noralization of liver pannel take more than 6 weeks.
wishing you all the best
