A member asked:

After scheduled surgery to remove gallbladder laparoscopically will i know i was intubated? what will recovery be like?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Laparoscopic : Surgery usually requires general endotracheal anesthsia. You will not have any memory of the intubation itself, because the anesthesiologist will give you IV medicine that prevents recalling the event. Barring any complications or unusual findings at surgery, you should be able to go home same or next day and resume normal activity in one week. Ask your surgeon for specific details.
