I think it depends on your insurance, and the location you choose. If the surgery is done in the hospital, they will want to keep you overnight (They get more money). Mine was same day and the only regret is that i went home and slept, shouldve done more walking the first day to alleviate the GAS. But as long as someone is with you, you will be fine. They send you home with Pain meds and anti-nausea medicine so its a smooth discharge.
