How Many Days In The Hospital After Surgery

[cloud9 29]

2 nights. I could have gone home after 1 night however Walk, walk, walk as soon as they will allow it after surgery!!

1 night for me.

I know that every body will be different but just curious how long everyone stayed in the hospital after the surgery?

I went home the following afternoon though in hindsight I probably would have benefited by staying another night.

I was in for 4 nights because I had a previous lapband and had a lot of scar tissue they had to cut through which caused a lot of nausea

one night released the next morning. Sitting in a chair 2 hours post op walking 3 hours post op. Which is common for Dr Miles.

Surgery on 8/6 first thing in the morning, released 8/8 mid morning........I think I could have gone home the next day......but I did have the roommate from hell LOL

I walked while in the recover room (I was in there a few hours, waiting for a room).....I don't think I feel pain the same way as most people--they were surprised I wanted to walk right away......I know not everyone has this experience, but my surgery/recovery was a piece of cake

Welcome and good luck!

Thank You and im kind of the same way. I heal up pretty fast, I will be finding out how this goes soon enough. The 21st is fast approaching.

If you really want to know, ask your doctor his typical practice -- your physician controls discharge time for a patient who has no issues (extreme nausea, fever, etc.) . The hospital or insurance co. May have guidelines but he/she is the captain of the ship...

Surgery at 4pm, out by 6pm next day. Only thing I wish is didn't have to go in somewhere to get pain meds filed. That was hell.

Two nights, left early the third morning. I hate hospitals so I had several panic attacks and was taking quite a bit of Ativan and morphine to calm me down! Not fun. I was very glad to go home.

I left the same day and was so happy about that. I felt much better not being in a hospital!

^{Wow that does not sound like fun at all. I work offshore so I am use to being around a bunch of people I don’t know and a noisy environment.}

I had my surgery on Monday, Sept 16th in the morning. I went home on Tuesday in the evening. So one night.

My doctor said it will be 1 night. Personally, I'd rather stay 2 just to be safe.
