I have had surgery (gall bladder) here in the US and was sent home the same day. Alot of people here on these boards had their surgery here in the US and were sent home within 24 hours. I am having my surgery with Dr Kelly and they keep you 2 nights in the hospital and 2 more nights in a hotel close by where you are checked on and can have access to them if needed. I think this is a better way to go then being sent home the same day. How would I know once Im home if the pain Im having is normal or out of the ordinary and needs attention? I have no worries about the way things are done in Mexico. I would have a problem with being sent home the same day. I didnt like it when I had surgery before here in the US and wouldnt like it now either.
