It's being considered an out-patient procedure so the information I received said that they will keep me for about 4 hours afterwards or until I am released. I'll make sure to lay as still as possible once it is over. I also heard to try and hydrate with water and electrolytes as much as possible before and after to help with headaches.

Thanks so much for responses! I greatly appreciate them!

I was also an out patient. They usually keep you a couple of hours afterwards mostly because of the light sedation. The headaches are mostly a result of the contrast.
Follow the instructions and all should go well. Good luck.
