I would ask if the procedure can be done with a local anesthetic, and also ask why he wants you out of ketosis. If he cannot present you with a proper reason, then you could refuse or consider booking with a different surgeon.
After all, they ask people to starve themselves before a general anesthetic, so I'd think most of the patients would be in fat-burning mode by the time of the operation.
Last time I was in hospital for tests, they said they normally do them with a general anesthetic, and I'd have to stay overnight, etc. I didn't want to stay and I didn't want a general anesthetic, so I asked if I could have them without the general anesthetic. They said that they couldn't give a local anesthetic for that procedure, so I said I'd have the tests without the anesthetic, and they agreed. It wasn't that bad, and I was amazed that they'd give an anesthetic for something so minor. It really amounted to a bit of mild discomfort, in my opinion. I'm not saying that yours should be without the anesthetic, but perhaps they would consider a local anesthetic instead?
If you do have to come out of ketosis, then just gradually raise your carbs so it takes you just over the limit and no more. You can be teetering on the edge.. then make the last meal slightly more carby.
