Interesting. I know that lipomas are very common in dogs, at least certain breeds. Our first Boston Terrier had several, and a couple of them became large enough that the vet recommended removing them, and we did. Did not really know that they could occur in humans, but I guess you learn something new every day.

I actually don't mind general anesthesia. Have had it several times over the years for various surgeries, and I've never had a problem. I actually prefer being knocked out because I am a wimp and don't really want to be conscious and hear them talking about what they're doing to my body.

Good luck, thekarens!
