Agree: Your multiple meds make the job of the anesthesiologist harder, but these dr's thrive on challenge.Very important to let them know what they are dealing with as each of these meds has effects on general anesthesia.

Ok: It should be fine. Take a list with you and show it to the anesthesia provider so they can review again.

Not much affect: The medications you are taking are essentially the baseline medications that you are on. They will have minimal effect on the anesthesia drugs that we know. You should mention all the medications you are on to your anesthesiologist.
