Seraphim Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Depends on how much they use and your tolerance and such but generally speaking, not very long at all. It's kind of a slow wake-up for most people, you're pretty groggy but you usually know what's going on and where you are and such. I think I was awake-ish within 15-30 min of my stomach surgery and sterilization procedures, but of course, they monitored for me longer than that afterwards. I was inpatient after stomach, but I went home after sterilization - I couldn't drive (obviously) but I was okay. My dad got a LOT of versed during his colonoscopy and I was with him when he was waking up. He woke up within 15-30 min. I was there right when he got out. Same thing with wisdom teeth - I think they let me sit in the chair for about 20 min after procedure, and then they helped me to a cot to lie down for a little bit longer while my mom came by to get me to take me home. I was SO groggy but I was with it and I remember all of that. The only time I didn't remember anything was when I got home and I took Vicodin. THAT caused me issues. But sedation, after waking up? Nah. Ok. I am going to PM you the surgeon's BIO. Link to comment

Seraphim Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 is it today? how are your fear levels Seraphim? Sending relaxing thoughts. It is today at 11:15 . I am trying not to be agitated because it just makes things worse . So the past couple days I have practiced just being calm . Link to comment
Seraphim Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Got through it great!!! I went in the put in the IV they gave me some benzo to calm me down and then the surgeon came in. They added 3 more doses of benzo and did local freezing and the tooth popped out in 5 mins. He said it was entirely split in 2. I could hear everything happening but I didn't care. Anyway now I know it is nothing to ever stress about . Much more humane dentistry. Link to comment

They swelling might come up in a day or so . It stopped bleeding though . They added a painkiller to the IV as well so I am ok right now. I'm going to sleep for a little bit . Link to comment
