Opioid free anesthesia (OFA) means a technique in which no intraoperative opioid is administered through any route. Perioperative pain management in an obese patient is challenging. The incidence of respiratory depression is higher in obese patients and is exaggerated with opioids, so the investigators are searching for a drug that has analgesic effect without any effect on respiratory function. In this study, the investigators will add melatonin to OFA in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
