This can vary by the procedure (open or laproscopic) and how you respond to it. Or, at least, that's the answer I got from my surgeon. I was told to expect 2 nights laproscopic, longer if they have to convert to open. Hope that helps!

I was laproscopic and was outpatient. Worked for me.

There's a bunch of sick people in hospitals ... no thanks!

I stayed overnight at the surgery center.

2 nights for me

I'm pre op my surgeon is saying same day if all goes well:) fingers crosses!

I had severe pain and a low grade temp....the doctor said the drainage tube was the prob. I ended up staying in the hospital for a week :( I noticed that most other patients left in 2-3 days.

I am 3 days post op. Not so much gas pain just some gurgling in the belly. I was expected to go home today but the area of the port hurts a lot. And the collection bulb is fill up with blood quite often. My dr says it should have lessened by now. Waiting to see dr again to see if he will release me or stay another night. I actually want to stay I don't want something to happen while I am home. The leak test was good didn't find a leak.

DID ANY ONE HAVE THIS EXCESSIVE BLOOD

AMOUMT IN THERE DRAINS TOO?

If anyone else had this please let me know what you were told and if anything what did the dr to?

Thanks!!!

I was in the hospital for two nights, which is normal for my surgeon's practice.

One night. Checked in around 8am, checked out next day around 5pm. Laparoscopic, no complications!
