The Laughing Cat 54 Posted March 31, 2014 Was told I could leave after one night. I replied I was not ready. Up to then I had stood on my feet but not walked. I stayed another day and felt reasonably good for having had major abdominal surgery when I left. If your insurance will cover it, my advice is to stay two rather than one night in the hospital.

Seela 1,187 Posted March 31, 2014 I stayed one night but I was up and walking right away. I went for several walks that night and as soon as I could pee on my own I was able to go home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

honeyg317 107 Posted March 31, 2014 1 night. I was so happy to go home because I could not rest in the hospital. It felt so good to sleep in my own bed. I had zero complications. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NICU-RN 31 Posted March 31, 2014 Less than 24 hours after surgery I was on my way out the door. Not my choice but insurance rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhoKnows 288 Posted March 31, 2014 I heard from other patients that here in Germany it's more like 5. I guess I'll be happy for that if there are problems, but my guess is I'm gonna really wanna go home after day 3 or so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kclaws 151 Posted April 1, 2014 My dr said one night. My surgery date is 4/7. My dr also only suggests 1 week (really 5 days) of liquid diet.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodeomom969 39 Posted April 1, 2014 I had an option to do my surgery outpatient, which my surgeon says has been working really well. Unfortunately as a self pay, the only way to get the supplemental insurance was to go to the hospital. I believe my stay will be one night. I would prefer to do outpatient.
