I had the op. for oesaphageal cancer 8 years ago, and occasionally suffer from waking up choking from reflux. I am considering a hip replacement op. and am wondering about the effects if this occurs whilst under anesthetic.

I am in a very similar position 10 years post op , as long as the surgeon and anesthetiser is aware of this they will monitor your position very closely and you should have nothing to fear but..... Make sure you tell them !
My wife had a hip replacement two years ago. They did it under an epidural anesthetic and she was awake the whole time.
I've had two inguinal hernias, resulting from coughing caused by the self-same problem that wakes you). Both were undertaken by the upper GI surgical team that performed my Ivor Lewis, so they were aware of the potential problem. Bottom line: full anaesthesia is no problem when the team's informed! Hope it goes well.
