Since I was 75 I have had 4 surgeries where I had to be put under. I’ve never noticed any long-term effects From anesthesia. Had surgery in June And I was awake and out of recovery room clear headed in a little over an hour after surgery. Had a knee and hip replaced since 75.
Besides that I’ve been put under five times since 75 to do Cardioversion to stop my Afib.
Not sure it’s really a big deal to be put under.

Jeff, you are an animal. I think most over 75 generally want to avoid surgeries. Anyway in regards to Prostate surgery, surgeons don’t want patient’s older than 75, but that is for a combination of reasons, primarily of I think known life expectancy actuarial rates and overall health. Heck 80 year olds run marathon, although I did read once where as soon as this old guy finished he checked out with a heart attack.

@jeffmarc Well good for you, but not everyone reacts the same and age does play a factor in your risks and recovery rate based on other medical issues a person might have.
