[LipstickLady 25,682]

I will be an outpatient.

I was. That still meant an overnight stay, though.

I was in for 4 days because i had swelling and nothing was getting past my esophagus when they did my barium swallow. Normal stay for my dr is 3 days.

Thanks! What to do in a hospital for more than 1 day???

I was in ICU because they ouldnt wake me from surgery and I still only spent 1 night. Can't believe insurance would pay for 4 days. They try to get you out as quick as possible.

Dont take this wrong but if its military (nothing against military mind you) its government and that is why its 4 to 5 days

I was in the hospital for 2 weeks. I wouldn't wake from surgery and have Von Williebran disease. But no pain since then loosing abt 3lbs a week so Doc says I'm in good shape!

I had my phone the tv and a puzzle book. My dad visited me each night and while he was there were would take a walk every hour. My husband also visited me with the kids. I did do a lot of sleeping though especially the first two days when my friends visited me i fell asleep while they were there. I work at the hospital i had surgery at so my friends visited me each day too.

My doctor is 1-2 nights in the hospital. I only stayed one night and was home by the next evening. I really wish I would have stayed an extra night. Day 2 was rough with pain and I could have used an extra day of IV fluids. It's been so hard getting in my liquids.< /p>

I was in for 2 days and had the single incision spider technique done. The only reason they kept me the extra day is because I couldnt get my fluids down but my surgeon quickly realized that I was having trouble because I was trying to sip cold beverages and it was causing spasms in my new tummy so I went to warm and bam, I was able to sip sip sip and they released me.
