I know every doctor is different, but surely there are some things that are similar with the surgery. I get to choose inpatient or outpatient and if all goes well could be out of the hospital in four hours. I notice others posting they stay for 1-2 days. Going home after major surgery makes me quite nervous. Also, some doctors use drains and others don't. How important are drains? My doctor suggests 1 protein drink for breakfast and 1 for lunch then protein and veggies for dinner for preop including the day before surgery. Why all of the variables?
Thanks
