Because you have received sedation during your procedure/surgery, you may have some mild after effects for a few hours following your operation or procedure. The following precautions should be taken unless your doctor instructs otherwise:
- No alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours
- Do not drive or operate machinery or equipment for 24 hours after returning home
- Do not make any major/legal decisions for 24 hours after returning home
- Contact your doctor if you experience nausea or vomiting
- Avoid strenuous activity until seen by your doctor/surgeon. Stair climbing should be done slowly and carefully – you may tire easily with activity, which is expected
- Avoid lifting anything over 10 pounds
- Advance your diet slowly over the next day or two – avoid spicy, greasy and heavy meals
