Anyone had LITT (laser interstitial thermal) Procedure?

I have LITT surgery scheduled at the Mayo on June 30th. Can anyone tell me about what to expect for the recuperation time and potential symptoms? My epileptologist is insisting that I'll only be in the hospital for one night. That's hard for me to imagine given that it's a brain surgery. Thoughts???

Hi ! My son had a hemispherotomy surgery at Mayo Clinic in February 2017.
In September 2019 he had another surgery to finish the first one.
Nowadays he is seizure free and taking just one medicine per day.
Unfortunately I can’t help you talking about LITT . His surgery was open scalp and he had his brain hemispheres separated.
I wish you luck and health! I am sorry I didn’t answer your questions.
Best wishes
Patrícia
