Can you feel anything under general anesthesia?
With general anesthesia, you should not feel anything or remember anything. It could be 5 mins or 5 hours, it will feel like a time warp for you after closing and then opening your eyes. Sometimes you will dream, so make mental suggestions to yourself of being on the beach. READ MORE

What can I eat after general anesthesia?
You can have a regular diet after general anesthesia, but the nurses will start with liquids/clears first to see how you tolerate it and also to see if your bowels are moving before progressing to a regular diet. READ MORE
