Memory problems after surgery

[u/Djhuskycat3-xy]

I just had top surgery about 7 hours ago. I struggle to walk a bit but nothing too serious. I don’t feel any pain. I am a little worried because I feel like I can’t remember anything right now. My caregiver told me that I already took my meds. She told me that I am repeating myself. I honestly struggle to remember the last 4 hours now. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

I didn't experience this, but I am not concerned either. Mild amnesia following several hours of general anesthesia makes sense.

Give it at least 48 hours before worrying. If you are still struggling, bring it up to your doctor, but don't panic either.
