Anesthesiologist Questions General Anesthesia

How long does it take to get anesthesia out of the system?

What is the duration of time for anesthesia to get out of my body?

If you are obese, it takes longer.
It depends on multiple factors like type of surgery, duration of surgery, coexisting medical problems, and many others. For most outpatient surgeries, the anesthesia effects start wearing off immediately after surgery and, although you might be a little sleepy, but most anesthesia drugs are out of your system in 4-6 hours.
Hope that explains the question.
