Depends: Most anesthesia recovery has occured by 24 hours post surgery. Driving would depend on what type of surgery. Call your surgeons office

Depends: It's a question best answered by your surgeon and anesthetist. It depends on the type of surgery and the type of anesthesia administered. There are too many factors involved to give you a definite answer

Likely: It would depend on the type and duration of surgery, any other medical issues, and how you felt. Worth discussing with both the surgeon and the anesthesiologist prior to surgery and in the recovery room.
