Asked By:Thoughtful447617 in Scotland, United Kingdom

when I was 9 I was put under for an operation and had an allergic reaction to the anasthetic which triggered an asthma attack, I’m now 19 and wanting a few surgeries and have outgrown my asthma and was wondering if I went to get allergy testing done for anaesthetic and it came back okay with no reaction would I’d be okay to be fully put under again? or would most surgeons still not want to risk it because of what happened 10 years ago
