Hi,

It depends on the possible complications after bleeding aneurysm, if vasospasm happened, it may take up to three weeks to see the extent of the brain damage.

Most of the patients wake up, but unfortunately there may be some neurological damage.

You should ask the treating Neurosurgeon about the expectations after the surgery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
