When I get home

• Patients often experience minor after effects following anesthesia such as drowsiness, muscle aches, a sore throat, headaches or dizziness. Nausea may also be present, but vomiting is less common. These side effects decline rapidly in the hours following surgery, but may take several days before they are gone completely.
   
• The majority of patients do not feel up to their typical activities the next day, usually due to tiredness or surgical discomfort. Plan to take it easy for a few days until you feel back to normal.
