Anesthesiologist Questions Anesthesia

ā€œWill I experience numbness after surgery?ā€

I have a surgery scheduled for Friday, and I'm wondering if it would be possible to experience numbness throughout my body after the surgery is done. Is it possible to have numbness after the surgery is completed? How long does anesthesia typically last?

Iā€™m assuming you are referring to general anesthesia where you are unconscious and not regional anesthesia where we numb a body area for surgery. General anesthesia should not cause any numbness.
