It depends on every individual person. I stood 3 days I believe. Went home the next day I was shopping as it nothing happen.

I had surgery on Thursday. Left Saturday afternoon. Was ok for first week. About a week out developed excruciating muscular pain. Was completely laid up until 5 weeks post surgery. Was off for 6 weeks. But I'm apparently one of the very few exceptions to the rule;)

I had surgery this past Wednesday and left Saturday morning. My heart rate was up and I had alot of nausea so they kept me that extra day. I'm still very sore and it hurts to be up moving around so I'm still resting alot. Good luck :)

Surgery on Thursday went home on Friday. Went back to work after 2 weeks and other than being tired at work it was fine. I also was up moving and doing things immediately, mostly because moving and walking helps the gas pain anyway, so might as well walk in the air conditioned store or mall rather than the hot street more than I had to... I walked 3 to 4 times a day though LOL (was 90 plus the weeks after my surgery).

I had my surgery Aug 29 Wednesday, and left Thursday Aug 30. I had no complications or no breathing issues. I had no nausea or high blood pressure. I was well although I still have left side pain. It's more of an ache. Also a headache I don't know if it is from the sedation or what but I am sleepy so mostly resting and getting up every hour or so to walk a little. Hope it helps.

I went home the next day. Pain wasn't an issue and I was sooo ready to sleep uninterrupted for more than an hour!
