Actually, I tend to think it is better to be off all gear and have been off for 60 days before having any anesthesia.
I just finished PCT after a typical 18-20 week cycle and had a face lift.
That night, was taken back to the OR, to have my head, face and neck drained before I popped like a wood tick.
Needless to say the facelift did not work, and my head stayed swollen for 5 additional days.
I believe I still had considerable amounts of deca and test in my system so my BP went off the chart and caused the swelling. I have had cosmetic surgery at least 5 times, never so close to the end of a cycle before.
Back to your question, what kind of orthopedic surgery are you scheduled to have?
