“Are you able to fly with anesthesia in your system?”
I am having a minor procedure then flying home afterward. Are you able to fly with anesthesia in your system?

You should be able to fly afterwards--so long as you are a passenger and not the pilot! But you may be groggy, disoriented, confused, and even a little unsteady on your feet.

After receiving anesthesia for a surgery, you are given instructions by your surgeon on any limitations to physical activity and any complications of surgery to anticipate, and your anesthesiologist should also caution you not to make any significant financial or marital decisions in the 24 hours following surgery; of course, you should not be allowed to fly any plane in that time window.
