You didn't happen to eat any veggies from the nightshade family (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant) in the days before surgery, did you? They can contain minute amounts of a substance called SGA, which can inhibit the metabolism of some anesthetics and muscle relaxants. My mom and I have both had surgery in the past 5 years; each time our doctors advised us to avoid those foods for at least 48 hours before surgery.
