You will stay in the operating facility generally until you are full awake, able to take liquids and you are able to walk with assistance.

Initially, you will be monitored in the surgical recovery room. You may then be transferred back to the ambulatory surgery holding area, which is generally more comfortable and your friends and family can be with you.

If you plan to stay overnight, you will be brought to your room rather than the ambulatory holding area.
