A tubal ligation is a relatively simple out-patient surgery done in a clinic, doctor's office, or hospital. It can be performed under local or general anesthesia.
In the laparoscopy procedure, the abdomen is filled with carbon dioxide gas so that the abdominal wall balloons away from the uterus and tubes. The surgeon makes a small cut just below the navel and inserts a laparoscope, a small telescope-like instrument. A second incision is made just above the pubic hairline to allow the entrance of the instrument that will cut, sew or burn the tubes. The surgery takes about half an hour.
After surgery, it is recommended that women take 2 to 3 days off and only perform light activities for a week. Sexual activity can start again when a woman feels comfortable, usually after a week. Women who have surgery performed through their vagina are advised not to put anything into their vagina for 2 weeks to avoid infection.

If it is a laparoscopic procedure, it probably can be done on an outpatient basis. Unless the doctor has his own set of rules about staying overnight, same-day surgery should be okay.

The procedure itself shouldn't take 30 minutes, if that long.

A tuble is same day surgery if there is problems she will have to stay over night. Usually the only reason they keep a person if they are still having alot of pain or low or high blood pressure.
