Max 24-48 hours. It depends on what medication given and the metabolism of the drug with individual patients.
Unless there is a catastrophic event during the anesthetic or needed to stay sedated for prolonged time after the surgical procedure.
It varies but usually one day
Depending on the type of anesthesia it could be hours to days. If you’re talking about not remembering the procedure, those won’t come back.
Less than 24 hours in your age group.
Some people are affected for hours. Normally, memory come back in 24 hours.
