No problem with the anesthesia.

How little, if any?

I came to, the nurse brought me coffee within 2 minutes. A minute after that, my friend came in to join me. We were avidly and coherently discussing an article in The New Yorker. I never would have believed you could have clarity of mind that quickly after being under.

OTOH, you never know with this procedure. You can end up vomiting all the way home.
