jessfharris 70 Posted August 11, 2012 Im really curious to know how long I'll be staying! I hate hospitals! How long did you stay and how was it?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elisa 33 Posted August 11, 2012 I stayed for two nights. I'm glad I did. The first full day, I was really out of it. And the dr has to make sure you can tolerate liquids before you go home. Plus, I have three young kids at home. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoolBreeze 154 Posted August 11, 2012 I stayed 3 nights, I had some trouble keeping fluids in so I was there the max my insurance allowed. My friend told me his sister went in on a Mon. and was out Tuesday evening. So it will depend on how you are after surgery. But you do have to hold in your liquids before they will release you.

maxskillz 43 Posted August 11, 2012 The first day I was out of it from the meds. Didn't get up an around until after 8 or 9. I did walk alot. I may have been able to go home the next day but my BP was a bit too high. Once they got me the correct dosage of BP meds things went to normal and I was able to leave.
