I went in on a Monday and was home on Wednesday, but I know some doctors release the very next day.

It will depend on your doctor and how well you are doing. I was in for 2 nights. He considered sending me home after one but was concerned because I live an hour from the hospital.

I was in 28 hours total. It would have been less if I could have gotten away with it.

As another user said, I'm pretty sure it depends on how you are recovering. My surgeon says 24 hours, but I went in later than expected and had a lot of nausea, so I stayed 2 nights instead of 1. Went in Wednesday at 11 and was discharged at 12 noon on Friday.

I was the first surgery of the day on a Wednesday and then I went home Friday afternoon. I could have left Thursday afternoon, but my car was broke down and I decided to stay extra time just in case.

Wow..I was in and out quick.

my surgery ( same day as yours 😄) on a Wednesday was late in the day, like 4pm. I was home on Thursday by 2pm. But I was fortunate to tolerate things pretty easily and was lucky to have an easy recovery.
