After Procedure

What to expect during the first few days after your procedure:

Patients sometimes experience minor after-effects from sedation 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 the physician who performed your procedure 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 regarding your experience at the Cottonwood Hospital 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.
