Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

I am scheduled for Aquablation at the Georgetown hospital. My Urologist said I will be able to go home the same day and remove the catheter the following day. Based on other's experiences, does this sound realistic? In talking with another Urologist that does the procedure this is the norm.

@jgman - My experience (Feb 2024) was slightly different. One night in the hospital for observation, discharged for two days at home with a catheter, then return for catheter removal and final testing. I can't weigh-in on your post surgical instructions - but I do know aquablation is so new the science on immediate post-surgery is not fully settled...hence, some small differences from doctor to doctor.
