Hospital stay

[Ilovecats1985 100]

How long were you in the hospital? My surgeon said as long as everything is good I should only be there 24 hours. However I'm seeing a lot of people say they stayed 2+ days...

From check-in to check-out, I was only there about 10 hours. It was awesome to be able to go home that night. I hate trying to sleep anywhere but home.

I haven't had surgery yet but my doctor said one night

Great question. My surgery is scheduled for really early in the morning and I've been told it's very likely that I'll be released the next afternoon barring no complications.

My stay was almost two days, about 40 hours. Got there at 5:30 am on September 30th. Left October 1st at 8:30pm.

It just depends on how your doing.

My hospital had 3 requirements you had to meet before you could go home.

1. Pain management

2. 40 sips in

3. Had to pee

My stay was longer because I couldn't pee. Lol

I stayed 2 days. I felt great but my heart rate was a little elevated, so they suggested another night.

My surgeon said 24-48 hours, all hinging on how I'm doing and feeling.

I was in the hospital for about 24 hours. As a self pay technically I was an outpatient on a 23 hour observation.

I was there from 7am till about 6ish the first couple days were the worst

Almost exactly 24 hours. Came in about 9:30 AM, surgery was started by 11:30 AM or so. Woke up in my room about 2:30 PM, maybe a bit later. The next morning, my surgeon cleared me to leave about 11 AM, but it took until about 12:30 PM to finish up my last IV antibiotic dose, "eat" lunch, and get discharged. :-)

Usually 1-2 days, but really depends on the person, I was sleeved 10/5 and still here, but other people that was sleeved the same day or even after are already gone

My doctor was ready to release me the next day but I insisted on a second day. I was doing great - keeping fluids down, passing gas, peeing.. you know, all those fun things. I just didn't feel steady enough on my feet given the pain I was experiencing. I am glad I stayed a second day - I got more rest at the hospital than I would have at home!
