Adult circumcisions take about 20 to 30 minutes. They are done as an out patient with a local anesthetic. It is painless. Some discomfort for a few days. Some have none. Return to work in a week or ten days. Erections prevented with medication. No sex for a month or so.
See the reference below by one of the best urologists in the USA for more details.

The actual procedure will take only 5 min or less. The waiting beforehand, after, etc might mean you are at the hospital maybe 2 hours at the most.

CIRCUMCISION IS VERY BENEFICIAL, its cleaner and several research bodies have concluded that circumcised men have less risk of contracting STD's such as AIDS-HIV or herpes.
Uncircumcised penises are difficult to keep clean, and more prone to infections and penile cancer, studies have shown.
A circumcised penis is naturally clean and virtually free from urinary infection. You will not have to worry again with careful washing of your penis.
About STD's:
As I said, several studies carried out by prestigious research bodies have concluded that uncircumcised penises are more prone to infections and contraction of STD's, including AIDS-HIV. Circumcised men have been proved to be up to seven times less likely to be infected than those who are uncircumcised. Have a look at this site: http://icuxbridge.icnetwork.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=14095142&method=full&siteid=53340&headline=-circumcision-protects-against-aids--name_page.html
As for women, studies also show that circumcision also protects female partners from AIDS-HIV and other STD's. Browse this article: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2006/02_08_06.html
About sensitivity of a circumcised penis:
No medical or physiological study has proved that circumcision reduces sensitivity, opposed to common belief. It is completely FALSE that circumcision reduces penis sensitivity. The American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) confirms this on their web site; have a look at: http://www.aap.org/pubed/zzzjzmemh4c.htm
Circumcision is an easy and nowadays *painless* procedure, which has many benefits, and virtually no risks.
Circumcision is NOT an amputation. Circumcision is NOT comparable at all to female circumcision, which is something completely different.
Circumcision rates are INCREASING nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African and South American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.
Finally, this site has a lot of useful and *unbiased* information. Make sure you have a good look: http://www.circinfo.net

circumcision is a very simple procedure and it does not require more than 3-4 hrs stay in hospital if theres no complication.

You go home the same day. When I had it done I think I was there for about 2 hours and I was able to come home.

It's OK to ask a nurse or doctor... Just call a hospital and ask for a physician that would perform the operation... Feel free to ask him/her any questions you like... Information is free and getting it from the source is ALWAYS best...

More than likely you will go home the same day as the surgery.
Women have hysterectomies done and go home the same day.

any good reason to get one in the first place???? I've never had one and never had a problem of any kind. I have heard that it lessens the sexual sensations but can't speak to that.
