After surgery - Having an operation (surgery)

After surgery, you will return to the ward (after local anesthesia) or the recovery room (after general anesthesia or epidural anesthesia).

If you get out of general anesthesia, you may feel embarrassed or you may feel sick. The nurse can give you oxygen (through the tube or mask in your nose to help you feel better).

It is very common to feel nausea and vomiting after general anesthesia. Your nurse may offer you medication to help you treat the condition. There may be sore throat and dry mouth.

Your blood pressure is taken regularly. This can be done by a nurse or a timed compression cuff. Your body temperature will be improved as well.

I will always feel pain after surgery. If you begin to feel pain, please tell your nurse to give me painkiller soon.

If you start moving quickly, that's fine. If you are lying on the bed for so long, blood may accumulate in your knees. This puts you at the risk of thrombosis

If possible, doing some leg exercise helps to prevent thrombosis. These may be as easy as turning your legs by bending your knees and ankles.

You may give a special support sock after surgery to help your circulation. Your nurse or doctor will explain how you should use these

Millions of Americans are undergoing surgery every year. It is important to understand the recommended surgery, especially if it is selective surgery (the procedure you selected) rather than emergency surgery. Everything has risks and benefits. It is important to understand them before deciding whether the program is right for you. Below is an important question to confirm with your health care provider before surgery. If you have problems understanding explanations or medical terms, have your health care provider explain the answer clearly and ask for further explanation. Some people find it convenient to write down the questions in advance.

The next question refers to "surgery" as counting nouns. It requires surgery which is a surgical operation or surgery. The dictionary that I looked up again shows that this is mainly usage of AmE. It is equally important to pay attention to these questions, using the term "surgery" as a plural noun. The term "surgery" also has different meanings in American English and British English. For example, in BrE, "surgery" is the place to see a doctor's examination and in AmE this is called "clinic."
