Everyone reacts differently to anesthetics, and some people react differently to anesthetics than they had in the past.

Generally, you will be asked to be at the facility 1-2 hours prior to your scheduled procedure, and it takes most patients between 1 and 3 hours to fully wake up after surgery.

Adding to this time the length of surgery will give you a good sense of how long you will be in the hospital.
