I certainly wouldn't sue, at least for the anesthesiologist's actions. If what you told the anesthesiologist was 'go a little easy' on the drugs, then that's not nearly enough guidance for him to be certain of getting it right. He (or she) is going to have to essentially guess at an amount that will keep you under 'long enough', but not cause adverse effects.
On the other hand, from what you say, it sounds like the hospital released you too early! You haven't really spelled out the timeline, but if they released you immediately after waking up from being under for an unusually long time...that sounds a bit irresponsible (aka 'cost conscious') to me. I don't know if I would sue over it, especially if there was no lasting damage, but I've heard a lot of stories about how hospitals are cutting costs by released patients as early as possible. I think it's inevitable that cases where the patient was released too early will increase.
