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.
A patient satisfaction survey group may contact you regarding your experience at the Utah Valley Center for Digestive Health. 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.
