Sorry if this does fit here, or make sense couldn’t find an ask docs community with my tired 1am brain.

Just had cosmetic surgery yesterday and wondering what the typical time is for remembering things. Also if you could add when you felt you could function (sit up without feeling dizzy, think straight, text anything but gibberish) again. Thanks in advance!

    I’ve never lost memory as part of a surgery, so I’m not sure how that side of things works. I pretty much just wake up like a light has been turned on post surgery. It’s not quite that quick of course, but I don’t really have a confused phase.

    It could just be that I’ve had so many surgeries and my body is used to it by now?

      Thank you for your perspective! We’re they cosmetic surgeries as well?

      I had emergency cosmetic surgery after my accident and remember up to the anaesthesia counting down from ten to about four, and then waking up afterwards.
