My 15 year old son had a procedure with anesthesia 2 months ago. I want to know if anesthesia can stay in your system for months?

No. The anesthetics stay in your system for hours, not days or months.
Absolutely not. What puts you asleep is usually IV medications or gas. Theses keep you asleep in the majority of cases. If gas is used to keep you asleep, upon awakening, you expel the gas and it is out of your system within 2 hours. The IV infusions that may be used also are out of your system within a few hours.

No. But there are psychological effects that can remain for months.
