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!

    It just sounds like anesthesia and opiates to me. I think you are worrying about nothing. I’m assuming you are on pain medication and it is not uncommon to forget things when on higher doses.

    Also temporary loss of memory is not really a serious side effect of anesthesia. It is a known effect that is not dangerous to you.

      Thanks for the insight. All these symptom I googled were for the elderly which I am far from! This does make me feel a whole lot better. Thank you!
