Hello Fellow Gentlemen,

How long after surgery did you feel foggy, out-of-it, etc?

Thanks!

Hello Fellow Gentlemen,

How long after surgery did you feel foggy, out-of-it, etc?

Thanks!

ten minutes..... really. You come out of it quick and are fairly alert and start mobility and walking right off. You will be tired and easily drift off to sleep for awhile but while awake, you shouldn't be in a fog.

I was out of it day of surgery only. You get really tired week one. Start feeling better week 2. Back to normal energy week 3-4.

I was outpatient, so I think they have a bit of a different level of anesthesia for outpatient vs knowing you are going to be in a hospital for a spell.

I was discharged at noon and back to my hotel for a 4 hour nap. Woke up still a little foggy, but took my wife out to dinner and then walked around for a while. I was in Vegas (baby!) so I sat down for a few hands of blackjack, so I was clear enough to win about $40. The next morning I took what only could be described as the most incredible shower of my life. Felt like I rinsed off all the fog and then I was off to the races. Walked no less than 5 miles all around Vegas.

The side effects from anesthesia can last quite awhile and vary from person to person. Plus you add the shock to your system from limited nutritional intake. I was in a fog for about a week after surgery and it got better with every walk I took.
