      Question Would an operation affect my recall?

      Hi I'm new here and I've just being to hospital for an operation and was wondering if this would affect my recall at all.

      Thanks in advance.

      Can't say much without knowing what the operation was and especially what sort of medication they have you on now, but even if they've got you on stuff I think you should be fine after you recover unless it was something major like some sort of brain surgery Hope the operation went well!

      I'm just a newb here, but I'd say that it wouldn't be so much the surgery as what drugs they put you on and the stress afterwards. I totally lost my recall for two weeks after my midterm exams because I was worrying so much about one that I didn't think that I did too well on. I'm just now starting to get it back with a few supplements (B-vitamins and ginkgo seem to be helping.)

      My recall also tends to be sensitive to any sort of drug, even something as innocent as Dramamine can destroy it.

      The anaesthetic drugs will take a couple of days to leave your body but your recall should return to normal pretty quickly. (I'm presuming you haven't had neurosurgery.) The anaesthetic drugs do not have a permanent effect but if you are on pain medication this could affect your recall for a while. Just get plenty of rest and don't operate machinery or make important decisions for 48 hours following the anaesthetic. I'm sure you will have already been told that.

      Take care
