Hospital Stay

Hello everyone!!! I have exactly a week left until my surgery I have all types of emotions going through my mind right now...ahh Oct. 3rd is almost here!!!! I have a question....do you think it's necessary to stay over night in the hospital? I originally opted out of staying overnight but after talking to my sister last night she has me going crazy as if I made the wrong decision....what do you guys think? Is the hospital stay necessary??

Stay on your liquids and don't cheat. The hernia situation needs more healing. Stay in hospital! I wouldn't let them take me from recovery! I was there over an hour! Lol

I remember waking up in recovery and for about 20 min I contiplated asking the nurse to hold my hand........that was the only thing in the world I wanted, was for her to hold my hand. I didn't ask.

i was delighted to stay overnight

i am sure going home would have been fine for me

but i trusted my surgeons advice/knowledge and felt comfortable in the hospital that first while after banding.

there is no wrong decision. just relax and stay focused. if you stay overnight or leave same day. its up to each's doctor's preference.

Personally, I'm glad I was required to stay overnight after my surgery. I could not imagine going home only a few hours after surgery, considering the pain and nausea I experienced that first day. It put my mind, and my family's minds at ease knowing I was being taken care of by professionals. There is no wrong decision though. :)
