Should Wife Stay Overnight At Hospital?



Recommended Posts

I have searched all over forum so I apologize if this has been asked already but should I have my Wife stay overnight with me at Hospital after surgery?

We have twin 8 year old girls that she could stay home with. Will I need her help because I will be awake during night?

My hubby did not stay with me. They will be getting you up to walk and then give you pain meds to help control your pain. So my personal opinion is plan on your wife staying home with the kiddos.

Any help you need the nurses are there for you. The first night you will be in and out of it, have your wife stay home with the kids.

When I had my surgery in the hospital, my husband took me to the hospital and left after the surgery. I didn't see him until I was released 2 days later. I didn't need him, I took my IV morphine and I was sleeping anyways. It was really no big deal..

You might sleep through the night too. I did..... best wishes for your upcoming surgery.... :P

My hubby stayed the entire time I was there. I loved having him there to help and he was absolutely wonderful! ;)

Your wife should stay at home, as the hospital staff will tend to your needs after surgery. As stated in the above posts you will be out of it for the first night.

Thank you everyone for the great advice. We are going to have her stay with our little ladies and she can come in the morning.

Again thank you!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
