Just curious.

They told us to expect to go home the same day as the surgery. That makes me both scared and happy. I kinda want to be at the hospital in case -in case of what? I dunno-reaction to the anesthesia? pain? or ? or ?

Now I don't want to stay overnight. But it still makes me nervous anyway.

So? Who went home the same day and who stayed overnight.

If you stayed overnight was it due complications? or just the way your doc does it?

Thanks in advance

I spent the night but I knew in advance I would. The reason is because I have sleep apnea. At the clinic I went to...they keep you overnight if you have sleep apnea. I didn't WANT to stay overnight but had no choice...so I brought my CPAP and stayed the night. Because of that, I was the last surgery scheduled for the day (2:30). Everyone else I know went home the same day.

I had my surgery at 7am and at 9:30am I was relaxing in the recliner at home. Nothing to it, oh yeah stayed off a week and went back to work ,no problem!!

I had surgery at 7:30 a.m. The anesthesia made me a little nauseous after I woke up so I had to stay two extra hours. Still though, I left the hospital at 4:30 and went home and slept like a baby. This was on Wednesday, had no pain, and was back at work on Monday. It went slick as a whistle!! :-)

Wow all this is encurraging! that is one of my big worries- that something will go wrong and I will be there for DAYS!!!

I stayed a t a hotel down the street. Just in case and left for home the next morning.

I did! in at 7am headed home at 5:30 pm

I left the same day had it at 10 30 and left at 4ish it took a long time to wake up from anesthesia hated it my family said I was as white as a ghost came home and had a hard time catching my breath anesthesia but all in all felt better couple days later just think I had bad reaaction to anesthisia not the surgery well worth it though

I had my surgery at 7:30 a.m. and went home the next day at 10:00 a.m. I believe my surgeon keeps everyone overnight. I personally am all for that. I was wiped out, hurting and all I wanted to do was sleep. Although, they did have me up and walking within 30 minutes of waking up from surgery. I was glad I was kept overnight, because I had problems with my blood pressure during the night. Had I been at home, it would not have been caught and managed, and who knows what might have happened.

I went home the same day. I was at the hospital at 6:00 a.m. and home by 6 that night. I was happy to be in my own bed that night!

I had my surgery last September at my doctor's surgery center at 7:30 am and was on my way home by 10:30 am on the same day. I had no probles what-so-ever (and I was one month shy of turning 57 years old!) Additionally, I have had sleep apnea and have used a C-pap for many, many years but experienced no problems during or after the surgery. I went back to work full-time 5 days after surgery and did great. For me, the whole process was a breeze!
