How long does it take to feel normal after general anesthesia?

I am a 37 year old female. I want to know how long after anesthesia can you drink water?

Hi
It depends on the type and duration of the surgery. After a short outpatient procedure most people can drink within an hour. Big abdominal surgery is a totally different story
Maybe in 2 or 3 hours
