General anesthesia, what to expect at least 4 hours after waking up?

This is my name
My husband will be bringing me home but there will be other family members at home who do not know I am getting lipo. I'm worried that whatever they give me to put me under will not wear off in 2 or 3 hours and I will appear completely out of it. Is this the case or can you talk somewhat normal after a few hours?
