Best to let the anesthesiologist know that your adrenal response may
be suppressed from prior steroids. They might actually give you decadron
or hydrocortisone if they are concerned about perioperative stress.

Arrrrrgh. Could be no issue. Could Be a bit risky. I’m worried about aggregate impact. He may feel bad He made you stop and so may load you up OnDecadron.
OTOH, 4mg is a Pretty low dose so even with a second drug, it likely won’t put you in a crisis
