Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your querry.
I think you should inform your anastheologist about this because it may interfere with general anasthesia in some cases. So dont take a risk. YOur doctor will know the time taht is needed for detoxication.it is about 10 days so you can plan surgery fater this.
Wish you good health.
