It's grand. Ask your doctor, I'd imagine they'd advise against drinking if you're sedated for it. I've done it twice without.

I chose not to be sedated and left the hospital a few hours later. If you are sedated you need to stay till evening. It's ok, not painful, just relax and let them work away. Ask about the drinking.

it depends on what time you get your sedation at and how you are when you come to. i collected a relative just after 1 yesterday. he came to and was given 2 slices of toast.

He stopped in the hospital shop and got a bottle of water.

If your getting sedated you won't be discharged until someone collects you as you can't drive for a certain amount of time after the procedure

But it's over now. You can relax.
