After appendicitis surgery, the time to be awake from anesthesia varies from half an hour to 2-3 hours, and sometimes longer, depending on the length of the appendectomy, the patient’s physical condition, and the metabolic capacity of the anesthetic. If the patient’s appendicitis is serious, the operation will take longer, the amount of anesthetic given during the operation will be higher, and the time of wakefulness after the operation will be longer. If the patient’s liver function is good, the anesthetic will be metabolized faster and the patient will recover faster after surgery. However, if the patient’s liver function and kidney function are not good, the metabolism of anesthetic will be poor and the recovery time after surgery will be longer. Therefore, you can consult with the attending physician or anesthesiologist for the specific recovery time. You should not eat or drink for 6-8 hours after surgery, and you can sit gradually after waking up, which can help the recovery of gastrointestinal function.
