I'm curious to how long everyones hospital stay was?

I ask because prior to meeting my surgeon, everything I read was saying that surgery is usually outpatient and you go home the same day.

However, my surgeon said I would stay overnight and because I was "one of her larger patients" I would most likely stay 2 nights. Thats not a big deal for me, but I was quite surprised by it.

Has anyone else had to stay overnight or longer?

I know that the larger you are, the more chance of blood clots. My surgeon said that clots were what she personally worried about with all patients, so the surgeon is probably being safe.

my surgery was at 730 am on thursday march first. I was released the next day at 3pm.

The blood clot concern makes total sense, and someone mentioned her doc decided to have her stay over because of the apnea...i too have apnea.
