Swimmer 199 Posted January 13, 2012 I'm just wondering how long everybody stayed in the hospital? My surgeon said it will probably be one night, but it seems like most stay two? How long did you stay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MINI-Me 196 Posted January 13, 2012 Mine was outpatient. I was in the surgery center for about 6 hours after being wheeled out of the operating room. Loved not having to stay the night in a hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shellbelle 4 Posted January 13, 2012 I stayed two nights, then after two nights at home I went BACK to the hospital for dehydration and stayed for an ADDITIONAL 3 nights. I was not able to sip Water or chew an ice chip without a tremendous amount of gas and nausea, so I got dehydrated. But they pumped me full of IV fluids during those 3 extra days and allowed my stomach to heal more and I'm doing much better now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigToeVSG 12 Posted January 13, 2012 My surgery was at 3:00pm and I had to arrive at 1:00pm. Surgery went off as scheduled. I don't know when I got to a room where I saw my family. Its a big blurr. I stayed one night in the hospital. They had me up walking and moving very quickly. I was lucky to be able to go to the bathroom and drink very limited Fluid via ice chips. I was discharged the very next morning at 9:30am. I do think my visit was best case scenario for most slevees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PdxMan 4,292 Posted January 13, 2012 Like Mini-Me, I was outpatient with the same surgeon. In at 7:00, at the Golden Nugget by 12:00. Took a nap and was out to dinner with my wife and even played a little at the tables that night. Set myself up for success in my hotel and it worked out great. Loved not being in the hospital. There are sick people there. 4 mommy794, SHC, Shemy-away and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catracks 865 Posted January 13, 2012 I stayed two nights only because my RBC count went down. I feel normal except for some stomach tenderness and constant stomach gurgling. I couldn't wait to get out of the hospital. BORING!!!! and there was this poor lady throwing up and screaming. Crud, my broth won't stay warm long enough to eat it.

hadouni 301 Posted January 13, 2012 One night. Checked in at 8:30am, surgery pretty close to on schedule at 10:30am, in a room by 2pm and left the next day around 2pm. They wanted to be sure I had three "meals" and was peeing fine and enough. I was happy to go home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tana_Q 20 Posted January 14, 2012 Wow! They told me I'd be in for 3 days? I wonder why so much longer? Hmm, I guess surgery day, then one full day after, then home the following a.m. Okay so one more day than some of you but still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimmie-sleeve 34 Posted January 14, 2012 Two nights for me... My surgeon said I could go home after the first night, but I asked to stay another night... I was glad I did because I had an allergic reaction and broke out in hives, and would have had to rush back. The. Ext day I was ready to go home.

SKCUNNINGHAM 298 Posted January 14, 2012 One night. My doc would have kept me a second night - but I wanted to go home to get some rest. The hospital staff was so caring I couldn't get any peace and quiet. I had no kids at home and my husband took care of me once I got home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
