Default Re: General anesthetics, recovery from

Most likely you will feel mild-severe nausea in the recovery room. This passes after ~1-2 hours. Beg for zofran if it is too bad. You're going to feel tired and groggy as you're waking up. Depending on how good your anesthesiologist is, the worst of this will go away in 1-3 hours or so, but it's not uncommon to be groggy for the rest of the day. Shouldn't feel any pain post-op (that'll come in 24 hours or so). Personally, I'd avoid hanging with friends on the day of your surgery.
