After Surgery You will need time to recuperate after any surgery. Be sure you have someone available to assist you for the first 24 hours. If you live alone, please call Ambulatory Surgery before you surgery day and let us help find some assistance to get you through your initial post-operative period.
Every surgery involves some pain.
Your surgeon will prescribe the necessary pain medication to help you through the first few days following your operation. Make sure that you take medications as directed, and that you have some food in your stomach. Almost any medication will cause nausea if taken on an empty stomach. You may be nauseated or even vomit following a general anesthetic. This should be only a temporary side affect, and should go away within a few hours.
