My doctor typically does a "23 hour stay." I think it has something to do with the accreditation of the surgery center, since it's not a full fledged hospital. However, shortly before I had surgery I was told he started letting patients go home at 8pm... IF their pain was below a 5, they had been walking, lived within an hour and something else. I met the criteria but I chose to stay the night. I was trying to avoid more time spent at my parents'. lol But I left first thing the next morning. I told them since I was self-pay I wanted to get my money's worth and would only leave if they gave me a discount!

Dr. Said I could go home same day but I stayed one night cause the trip from hospital was 2 and half hours and wasn't sure is be comfortable. Good luck!

6 days in hospital for me....had severe pain, nausea & excess bleeding. Im grateful that I have a doctor who allowed me to to be pain free and tolerate liquids at my own pace. Each day she came in, we discussed my complications; as I started feeling so-so to better, she would ask if I was ready to go home and then inject her advice on staying another night. The person who was more anxious to leave was my hubby...he spent every night with me...on that uncomfortable cot the hospital provided!
