I know.  I was nervous about that too since the majority of people stay for at least 1 night.  My surgeon has been practicing since 1985 and have had great results so I figured I was in good hands.  My husband was with me and made sure that I got up every hour and walked and that I sipped sipped and sipped some more.  No complications here.

I stayed only one night.  They were watching the quantity of water I was drinking, and when they were convinced I could hold the water down, and had a reasonable chance of not getting dehydrated, they set me free! 

I was lucky - little surgery pain, no gas pain,  nausea meds worked like a charm.

I hope your surgery is equally uneventful!

I was only there one.  Had surgery super early in the morning, and was allowed to go home the next morning.

I was only supposed to stay for one, but couldn't even get ice chips in, let alone take medication so wound up being two. I think the meds they had me on made me worse for wear. I didn't need any pain killers when I got home.
