How many nights did you stay in the hospital?



Recommended Posts

I'm trying to get my child care set up for next week after my surgery so I am trying to get an idea of how many nights I will be in the hospital. My hubby wants to stay with me so we have to rely on family to watch our 3 year old at night. I am young and healthy and I recovered from a c-section from my belly button down very quickly. I was up walking that day. Any ideas on how many nights I'll stay?

My doc requires 2, I got an extra night because I couldn't pass gas. However, there are many folks here that go home the next day. You're best off asking your doc what his standard practice is. Good luck!!!

I actually stayed one night. Didn't have to pass gas, but did a lot of bleching. I had a fantastic surgeon, and a very good group of medical staff, that stayed on top of everything.

Just stayed one night- standard procedure for my surgeon. They didn't care if I was passing gas or anything. I just had to pee after the catheter was removed and that was it.

I stayed 2 nights which is standard in the UK. No requirement to pass gas but as the lady said above, they were very keen to make sure my pee-ing was ok. They actually measured the volume for 24 hours as I couldn't go on the first couple of attempts.

I was required to stay two unless there are complications. Luckily there were none and I was ready to jet as soon as they green lighted me to go.

My Surgery is October 23, and I was told I would be staying 2 nights.

I stayed one night, I was discharged at 8pm the second day. My doc won't release you until you progress to full liquids w/no trouble and are peeing. :-)

I stayed four nights. I wasn't breathing properly and had to have a blood transfusion. :(

Two nights turned into three only because the city shut completely down with three feet of snow in 12 hours, then another night in the hotel.

I was supposed to stay 2 nights, but did well enough to go home after 1.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
