I've never been put under before. I have just one c-section under my belt in terms of surgery, so this is all foreign territory to me.

I know surgery is fairly quick, but are you still out for awhile afterward?

After surgery you are awaken as soon as its over.. The bring you out of the anesthesia to know everything is ok... Some ppl dont remember it, some go back to sleep and wake up hours later but you are brought out of anesthesia and woken up as soon as they are done... I remember still being in the or when i woke up and i felt so cold that i didnt go back to sleep again.. Ppl react different so some ppl start talking right away, others want to sleep, others want to throw up.. There's no telling how you will react till u are out of it... I just kept asking when the shaking would stop and remember being really unconfortable... Ppl are left in recovery for like 2 hours after surgery.. I wasnt, my dad is a dr and he was there and for some reason they just brought me up to my room like half an hour after surgery...

Like you, I had only had a c section before my sleeve. I don't really know how long I was out before I woke up in recovery, I just remember a nurse saying my name and asking how much pain I was in. I was pretty sore and stiff, but had no real pain to speak of. But I was very, very nauseous...I assume from the anesthetic. I never threw up, but I made them give me something for it, which made me sleepy all over again. I took anti-nausea medicine for the rest of the day. I had to get up and start walking laps as soon as I was coherent and had to do so every 2 hours for the rest of my stay.

Interesting responses. I had a 2 1/2 hour surgery and woke up one hour after in recovery. I was in a "fog" but conscious. I remember everything but was very uncomfortable because I had to pee very bad and my mouth was VERY dry. I laid there for 1.5 hours and was rolled into my room where i got off the cart and walked a step or two and was helped into bed. I promptly threw everybody out of the room, stood up again, and used a "urinal jug" (with the aid of my wife). Thank God for wives who are ER nurses and being a male with the ability to use a urinal! I also didn't sleep even one minute for the rest of that night all the way through to the next night (about 30 hours total) until I took a Benadryl!

You wake up or they wake you up pretty much immediately after arriving in the recovery room. I actually wanted to go back to sleep, but they kept waking me up. It was annoying.

My surgery was at 430ish, apparently it started later but i wasn't aware, i very vaguely remember my parents leaving the hospital at 830

I remember nothing until 6 hours after surgery. Evidently I was speaking coherently in the recovery room and with my wife when I got back to my room' date=' but I don't remember a thing. :-)[/quote']

Thats funny

I don't know exactly how long my surgery took. I had mine about 9:30am. I just remember them waking me up and being in total agony and moaning in pain. I kept drifting in and out trying to press the help button (the ones on the bed don't work I found out), of course no pain meds or anything to make sure you're okay in recovery. Then I just remember being rolled into my room and the nurse saying "We have pain meds on the way" and

BOOM, out for 5-6 hours lol
