I was admitted at 2pm for surgery at 430pm on Thursday and discharged at 2pm Friday. Some people require longer stays for tests, etc.

My surgery was on Wednesday but I didn't get to go home until Friday. I ended up going to ICU because I had trouble waking up from the anesthesia due to my sleep apnea. Luckily that has now gone away!

24 hours as long as you get your liquid intake and aren't having problems.

I was required to stay two nights after surgery because I lived an hour away from the location of my procedure. Each doctor has there own criteria but the majority I have heard it is 1 days as long as all is well.

Not quite overnight. My dr does a 23 hr hold. I got to leave at 5 am. He does same day if you don't have sleep apnea.
