Good possibility. That thought had crossed my mind, but I had forgotten about that until you mentioned it. Do meds get retained by those with higher body fat percentage?
Did they use propofol? It clears the body in literally minutes.

Yes they did. It was awesome. The action of duration clears is minutes, but I think the half-life is about 24 hours.
