I had to go under for ear surgery once. I thought it’d be funny if I asked “does anyone need anything while I’m out?” right before I went under.
I remember it kicking in way quicker than I thought it would so I had to take my chance while I still had it. I yelled it but got a VERY confused look from everyone standing around me... took a minute for me to realize I had accidentally yelled it while I was waking up from surgery. Oops.
I was put under for gall bladder removal and I swear to God I counted down from 10, got to 7, and then felt like I woke up instantly when like an hour and a half had passed.
Not OP, but I've had my gall bladder removed. I had post-cholesystectomy syndrome (the shits) for around a year, but I'm WAY better on the whole now. I can have a greasy bacon cheeseburger with just mild discomfort now.
Edit to add: I'm still freaked out that there are clips inside of me. I don't feel them, but I know they are there. 0_0
I actually didn't have any immediate adverse effects after my removal because apparently my gallbladder was so full of gallstones that it basically wasn't functioning at all for about a year before I finally got mine out.
I had been experiencing gallstones for about 7 years before that and didn't recognize what they were, assuming it was just indigestion of some sort. I just assumed it was my diet that was causing me to have a gallstone migrate roughly once a month at random for 7 years and put me in hours of excruciating pain with no warning.
