Everyone recovers from anesthesia differently - it depends on your age and underlying medical conditions. As with many things it is better to be young and healthy anything else moves slower.
Under ordinary circumstances, with normal kidney and liver function, it should not take longer than a day.
Several hours, maximum 1-2 days.
2-4 hours.
