20 to 30 minutes
It usually takes 5-30 minutes to “wake up” from anesthesia. However, most people don’t remember the first several minutes they are awake and responsive.
This depends on the type of surgery. Most surgeries patients wake up a few minutes after completion, but many don't remember when they actually woke up.
Likely less than 30 minutes to wake up after general anesthesia
