Minor surgery & general anaesthetic days/weeks following amphetamine/speed use, OK?

I'm due to have some minor non invasive surgery over the next month (15-30 minute procedure), I have recently, one day ago, used a small amount of street speed, I don't know when specifically my surgery will be but estimate 1-4 weeks from now, are there any risks with undergoing medical anaesthesia following my amphetamine use?

I understand that my vitals will be monitored during this - but I just want to put my mind at ease.

Little more info:
I am young and healthy, have spoken to an anesthetist (pre-op assessment) who believes I am fit for anesthetic.
 
The amps would have left your system entirely in the matter of a few days leaving you the way you were before you did them. If you were fit before you'll be fit a week after.

Thanks for replying, I did not even consider the 12 hour half life.
 
Probably the most innocent post I've seen on Bluelight in a longggg time (and that's a compliment).

You'll be totally fine, I asked the same question a while back for minor invasive surgery while ON amphetamines, and I was totally fine. Only thing it did was make the local anesthetic last a tad bit longer haha
 
This is just for reference's sake. Just because my experience didn't end in catastrophe, doesn't mean that yours won't.

A few years back, I was a regular (once a week) binge user of prescription stimulants. Lots of Dextroamphetamine, but mostly mixed salts as they were available on a more regular basis. I'd use anywhere from 40mg - 200mg in a 24 hour period depending upon my schedule the following day and what kind of sedatives I had on hand. Anyway...

Against my better judgement, the day prior to a long overdue wisdom tooth extraction I had used maybe 150mgs of sustained release Dextroamphetamine. I took the pills around 5 or 6 in the PM; my surgery was scheduled for 7:30 or 8 in the AM the following morning. I was still pretty high when I arrived to check in. Once I got "hooked up" to the diagnostic equipment, the Dr. remarked that my blood pressure and pulse were unusually high for a thin/young person. I brushed it off and claimed that I was extremely nervous in regards to the surgery and she continued on.

3 of my 4 wisdom teeth were severely impacted so I was put under "twilight sleep". I got an IV of Fentanyl and Diazepam simultaneously, which I'm told is pretty routine for this sort of thing. The Dr. said "goodnight" facetiously like doctors always do and I felt a bit of a rush. However, even after the drip had hit me, I was still wide awake. The doc said, sometimes people need a "double-dose", so I got a second push of both meds. I felt pretty great at this point, still buzzing from the speed and with a healthy Benzo/Opiate cocktail coursing through my blood. The asked me to repeat a sentence, to count to ten, and the city of my birth all of which I was able to do. After that, the doctor irritatedly gave me a third and final push.

Point is, I was still wide-awake for the surgery even after the third push. I just closed my eyes and relaxed as I felt the doc must have been suspicious of me and I didn't want my status as a drug-abuser to blow my chances of getting some Oxy/Hydro after the appointment. As she pulled the wisdome teeth from my jaw, I felt a slight ticklish feeling.

Just some food for thought. I can imagine there are certain operations that would not be quite as enjoyable to be coherent through.

Probably incredibly dangerous btw, lucky you are alive but damn that'd be awesome.
I got the same thing (only once though) for my wisdom teeth, shit felt insane but i only felt it for like 30 secs before passing out.
OP if you haven't gotten the message you're definitely fine, see above post for reference ahahaha.
