You have a right to know what your operation entails and why it is necessary.
What to Expect After Surgery
After your operation, you will be placed in a post-surgical waiting room and kept under observation for at least 30 minutes. If you are an outpatient, you will be able to go home the same day of your operation, provided there were no complications. Inpatients will need to stay overnight and may require post-surgical care or physical therapy in the hospital before they can safely return home.
You will need someone to drive you home after the operation, especially if you were administered a sedative. It is also recommended that you have someone stay with you overnight to help around the house so you do not put too much strain on your body while it recovers.
While surgery can be strenuous on the body, your recovery period should not take longer than a few weeks. For minimally invasive operations, most people will be able to resume their normal schedules after 24 hours.
