Can anesthesia change your taste has not been normal since surgery?

I had abdominal surgery 1 week ago with general anesthesia. I'm on 2 antibiotics.
My taste buds are totally screwed up: sweet things taste bitter--can only use very little sweetener, if any. Bread, baked potato and applesauce come closest to my
memory of their tastes. I had to spit out the coffee I made--a favorite blend and delicious in the a.m. It tasted awful. Tea is okay if weak and milk is added. In the past, I never had my tea with milk. Of course, the blessing is that I don't have much appetite--stomach still bloated. My smell is probably affected too. I'll ask the doctor when to expect a return to normalcy.

Is laser back surgery worth the cost?
The two benefits of laser surgery over the traditional method is it is minimally invasive, offering a quicker recovery period, and a local anesthesia is used instead of the more involved general anesthesia. The drawbacks is mainly the cost, since the results match the more invasive surgery.
Why patient do not eat solid food after surgery?
Yes - it is normal to not be hungry after surgery. Surgery is commonly performed under general anesthesia. General anesthesia often causes not only loss of appetite but also nausea (one of the reasons they tell people not to eat before surgery). Once the nausea wears off however, it is fairly common to be very hungry since the patient usually hasn't eaten in a while. Just how long it takes for appetite to come back depends on how well the patient feels after the surgery. The worse they feel, the more likely they are to not feel hungry.
Is it normal to have heartburn after surgery with general anesthesia Its been 4days since Ive had a LAVH and it feels like acid reflux and it is increasing.?
I just had shoulder surgery one week ago today. Several days ago the acid reflux started. I have NEVER had acid reflux in my life, so I have to assume it is from the surgery/anesthesia/meds. After 4 days I stopped taking pain meds (narcotics) except a little bit of Ibuprofen (600mg) at night to sleep. The last two nights the acid reflux is much worse. I have been sleeping in a sitting position/laying/sitting on the couch. I don't have an answer for you about what causes it or how long it will last, I just wanted to tell you that I have it too so maybe it is normal. Good luck.

Losing Weight on a Surgery Diet?
When you are going in for surgery, you need to take your diet very seriously. Your diet before surgery is very important, since the types of foods you ingest within a certain time frame can impact many things. Not only can it make things "messier" when the anesthesia is applied, but a full stomach can lead to a number of different complications. You may require more anesthesia to go under successfully, and you may have a more violent reaction to the anesthesia after you wake up. This is why it is of the utmost importance that you watch your diet.

Is an Anesthesiologist nurse the same as surgical nurse?
No, while they might work in the same setting the nurse anesthetist is typically higher trained and is concerned about the patient and making sure their vitals are stable throughout the surgery since they're the ones administering the anesthesia. A surgical nurse on the other hand will help assist whoever is performing the surgery' so it's two completely different jobs and concerns that they focus on.

If you are having open heart surgery what happens to your blood?
The duration depends on the complexity of the procedure. The patient is put under anesthesia and is unconscious during the surgery. Don't worry about it, you will feel no pain during the surgery, and afterwards you will be on painkillers. The surgeons are skilled professionals who have performed the operation hundreds of times; you are in good hands. http://heart-disease.emedtv.com/open-heart-surgery/open-heart-surgery.html
Does the soul depart the body when you have general anesthesia?
No, it does not. For those who believe that a body has a soul, it would be lost only with death since the soul is what gives life to the body. General anesthesia makes you unconscious or puts you in a deep sleep.
