I was only in for the day... although it was quite painful to recover from and if I had kids to look after I would have definitely stayed overnight!!
What does being under 30 have to do with needing a hysterectomy? My sister had endo so bad that she had to have a hysterectomy and she was only 23 and wanted kids at the time  thank goodness I didn't get it nearly that badly.

My gyne wants me to wait till i'm a bit older and I want to have another child.
My mum told me I had to wait till I was at least 30 to have it done.
Wow hers must of been bad to have it done so young.

My cousin had a hysterectomy at 26 after no babies, poor thing.
I had a laporoscopy/hysteroscopy, reacted to the pethidine and had gas trapped really bad so stayed in overnight even though I was supposed to be out by 5pm. I too found the worst part was the gas, took me a good 4-5 days to feel comfortable again and not like I'd been kicked in the chest.

I had a chat to my mum and if I get to have the op early next month then maybe she may come over and look after the boys for me.
My mum had her hystorectomy just after she turned 30, and she is sure that I will be having one within the next 10 years at least.
Pregnancy is the only thing that keps my endo at bay so getting rid of the cause will be good and thank god for health insurance so I can get it done when I need to get it done.

My surgery was originally booked as an outpatient meaning I was to be out that day. I ended up being admitted to hospital the week prior and had my surgery date bumped forward.
I spent 2 1/2 days in hospital after surgery cause mine went from a simple 45min-1 hour surgery to 5 hours. I still had keyhole surgery (thank goodness) but my tummy looked like I had been shot 5x.
That was 3 months ago still have some discomfort but that is due to my tummy muscles not being strong enough (had this surgery 1 mth after having an emergancy c-section.

I'd go for the overnight stay because it's easier to arrange leaving early than staying later than planned
