It depends on the type of anesthesia you’re given. If you receive local or regional anesthesia, where local anesthetic is injected into the area or region of the body being operated on, you will not feel any effect of anesthesia more than numbing of the area(s) involved for a few hours. If you receive general anesthesia, you should expect to feel foggy for a few hours or the entire day. If a tube was inserted into your throat to help you breath during the anesthesia, you might have scratchy throat for the entire day. You might feel nauseated or even vomit sometimes after general anesthesia. That would usually be treated before you’re discharged from the surgery center or hospital.

Procedural anesthesia is a technique of administering sedatives or dissociative agents with or without analgesics to induce a state that allows the patient to tolerate unpleasant procedures while maintaining cardiorespiratory function. It was formerly called conscious sedation. There are 3 types of procedural anesthesia, (minimal sedation, moderate sedation and deep sedation) depending on the level or responsiveness to verbal and tactile stimuli and whether airway intervention may be required or not.
In minimal sedation there is usually normal response to verbal stimulus and the airway usually would not require intervention. In deep sedation, there is usually purposeful response to repeated or painful stimuli. Moderate sedation would respond purposefully to verbal or tactile sedation, but airway intervention may be needed.
