Surgery Scheduled for May 20th ...mulitple questions RE anesthesia and IV fluids

and I'm wondering if I should discuss the anesthesia used with my surgeon. He's familiar with WLS patients, as he does TT's, etc. on WLS patients all the time. Should I be concerned with the fluids in the IV. Not the pain meds, or he stuff that sedates you but don't they usually put some kine of nutritional stuff in there, with glucose or something in it? My question is, will anything they put in the IV possibly cause me to dump? Also, do they commonly put a tube down your throat into the stomach? I'm having rhinoplasty, so I won't be able to breath from my nose, so I assume they'll leave my throat open to breath, right?
