I was a kid when I last had it. Really uneventful. "Count backwards from 10" and you're out by 6.
My wife had it a few months ago to fix a deviated septum. Her native language is Turkish. When she came to she was only speaking English. The doctors couldn't understand her "but she seems fine." I told her she was speaking Chinese just to fuck with her a bit. "Oh no! We need to get a dictionary!" It was really strange.. She understood Turkish perfectly fine but was completely unable to speak it.
Other than some funny after effects, it was mostly a non-issue for her as well. She was fine after a couple hours.
Oh wait, my wife told me I was also leaning towards English a lot too when I woke up. I'm not a English native. However, I was switching to it after pauses or sentences.
Wonder how common this is.
I remember the „count backwards“ trick well. What a flex.
