Interview less than 24 hours after general anaesthetic

I'm due to have a hysterscopy and polyp removal under general anaesthetic next Tuesday at 4pm. I've been told it is a very quick procedure and that I'll be out of hospital a couple of hours later. Problem is I've just been offered a job interview the day after. The original invite was for 9am but when I rang and explained my situation they said they weren't able to move to another day but could give me the 4pm interview slot to allow me more time to recover. It is a senior job and I don't want to make a total fool of myself. Can anyone who has had a similar procedure recently tell me whether they would have been in a fit state to do an interview 23 hours later?

I've had GA twice and both times have had very bad insomnia for a few days afterwards. I didn't sleep at all the first night after one of them. No pain, just wide awake but I definitely wouldn't have been top of my game. It can impact everyone differently so I would try to avoid. I've also had deep sedation with no problems. Best of luck with whatever happens.
