I was admitted at 2pm for surgery at 430pm on Thursday and discharged at 2pm Friday. Some people require longer stays for tests, etc.

My surgery was on Wednesday but I didn't get to go home until Friday. I ended up going to ICU because I had trouble waking up from the anesthesia due to my sleep apnea. Luckily that has now gone away!

I also meant to say....it was supposed to just be an overnight stay though.

24 hours as long as you get your liquid intake and aren't having problems.

I was required to stay two nights after surgery because I lived an hour away from the location of my procedure. Each doctor has there own criteria but the majority I have heard it is 1 days as long as all is well.

Not quite overnight. My dr does a 23 hr hold. I got to leave at 5 am. He does same day if you don't have sleep apnea.
