How should i expect to feel when i wake up from anesthesia?

Sleepy: You will be groggy and hopefully your pain from your surgical procedure is well controlled.

Awake: This depends on the type of anesthesia & surgery. If no pain u should be responsive in 5 minutes; awake in 15 minutes ( count to ten without stop); allert=30 min. If anti nausea or pain meds you may be sleepy longer most side effects are from pain nausea or antibiotic meds or from the surgery directly. Laporoscopic surgery makes shoulder pain. Breathing tube or neck surgery=sore throat ask ur dr.

It depends!: That depends on so many factors. A major operation can take hours, and of course you would receive a lot more anesthesia than you would for a 30 min. Procedure. Some people are much more prone to motion sickness and nausea than others. Some people require more pain medication than others. Expect to feel drowsy and to need some pain med as the anesthesia wears off. Don't plan to drive home!

Groggy: Initially a patient who wakes up from anesthesia is somewhat groggy and confused. As the anesthetics wear of more they become more coherent and awake. This process is slowed by the narcotic pain medications that you might need to help with your pain.
