showboatgirl 0 Posted May 20, 2006 I spent the night in the hospital. I went home late in the afternoon on the second day. I am glad that I spent the night in the hospital because I was wiped out. I still felt bad on the 1 hour trip home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda 0 Posted May 20, 2006 I spent the night but I knew in advance I would. The reason is because I have sleep apnea. At the clinic I went to...they keep you overnight if you have sleep apnea. I didn't WANT to stay overnight but had no choice...so I brought my CPAP and stayed the night. Because of that, I was the last surgery scheduled for the day (2:30). Everyone else I know went home the same day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iziksmom 0 Posted May 21, 2006 I had surgery at 7:30 a.m. The anesthesia made me a little nauseous after I woke up so I had to stay two extra hours. Still though, I left the hospital at 4:30 and went home and slept like a baby. This was on Wednesday, had no pain, and was back at work on Monday. It went slick as a whistle!! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*susan* 1,709 Posted May 22, 2006 I had my surgery at 7:30 a.m. and went home the next day at 10:00 a.m. I believe my surgeon keeps everyone overnight. I personally am all for that. I was wiped out, hurting and all I wanted to do was sleep. Although, they did have me up and walking within 30 minutes of waking up from surgery. I was glad I was kept overnight, because I had problems with my blood pressure during the night. Had I been at home, it would not have been caught and managed, and who knows what might have happened.

Bensmum1109 0 Posted May 22, 2006 I went home the same day. I was at the hospital at 6:00 a.m. and home by 6 that night. I was happy to be in my own bed that night! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anndallei 0 Posted May 22, 2006 I had my surgery last September at my doctor's surgery center at 7:30 am and was on my way home by 10:30 am on the same day. I had no probles what-so-ever (and I was one month shy of turning 57 years old!) Additionally, I have had sleep apnea and have used a C-pap for many, many years but experienced no problems during or after the surgery. I went back to work full-time 5 days after surgery and did great. For me, the whole process was a breeze! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
