Straight after a general anaesthetic, you may feel tired, dizzy or weak. You must have someone to collect you and stay with you for the first 24 hours.
During the first 24 hours you must not:
- Drive or operate any motorised vehicle or electrical equipment
- Sign any legal documents or make important decisions
- Drink alcohol
You may feel weak or dizzy at times during the first seven to ten days. If this happens, sit down until the feeling passes.
You may also have the “post-operative blues”, though this should soon pass.
