After Procedure
What to expect during the first few days after your procedure:
- Patients sometimes experience minor after-effects from anesthesia such as drowsiness, nausea, muscle aches, a sore throat and occasional dizziness or headaches.
- These after-effects lessen rapidly in the hours following the procedure.
- The majority of patients do not feel up to their typical activities the day of their procedure, usually due to general tiredness or abdominal discomfort.
- Plan to take it easy for a few hours until you feel back to normal. Know that a period of recovery at home is common and to be expected.
- Call your doctor if you have questions about the procedure, what you can and cannot do, or when you can return to work.
- You will be sent home with a patient satisfaction survey group regarding your experience at Alta View Endoscopy. Please do not hesitate to offer suggestions or comments; your opinions are most welcome. Your suggestions help us improve the services we offer to our patients.
