I had surgery at 12:30 pm and was home by 4:30 pm. My surgeon does all his as outpatient unless he discovers an issue during surgery.

Surgery at 8:30 a.m. - home by 4:30 p.m. - same day.

I never said it would be easy. I said it would be worth it.

Checked in at 9:30, surgery at 11:00 and home by 4:00. Had to drink some water over a few hours and walk in the recovery room and then I was on my way.

Mary, I had to stay overnight but I knew this from talking to my doctor. Call and ask what the policy is and if that's their requirement.
Good luck!
