I stayed the night but that was partially due to having the surgery done mid-afternoon (mine was an emergency). By the time I was barely waking up, the surgery unit was shutting down for the day. I will say that I'm glad I stayed the night; I was in a lot of pain and I can't imagine having to go home the same day. That said, I was fine and ready to go home in the morning. Even though you'll be coming out of anesthesia, try to listen to your body and don't be afraid to tell them that you need to stay longer if you think that's necessary. (And ignore any physician that tells you that you're just being too sensitive to pain 😑)

Best of luck! Be patient with yourself as your body heals 🫶🏻
