Hospital stay

How long was your hospital stay? I have a 1 1/2 year old and a 7 year old I hate being away from them for too long :( I hope it's not more than 2 days.

It's 1-2 days sometimes longer. It depends on your doctor

Had surgery On a Monday at 11am. Was discharged Tuesday at 2pm. Also had a hiatal hernia repair.

Surgery on Wednesday. Discharged on Thursday. I'm finding recovery to be a little difficult. You will probably need help with your kids.

I stayed two days but one day would have been enough for me.. I was told strictly NO lifting and NO bending, NO twisting, NO stretching and reaching for the first week.. and after that no lifting anything over 15 pounds until 6 weeks.

I stayed 2 nights and I was glad I did. I was happy to have the IV pain meds and the extra care. I had my sister at home to help me for the first two days at home and I was grateful. I would recommend that you have help with your little ones.

I stayed 2 nights also. I agree, 1 would've been enough.

I was sleeved on a Monday at 7am and released the next day about 2pm. You will have to rest when you get home and concentrate on getting your fluids in. Some help will really be needed with your little ones.

I was outpatient. I went in at 9:45 and was home by 7:30 the same night.
