Is one night enough?

My surgeon typically discharges people after one night in the hospital but will allow people to stay an additional night should they feel they need it. Did you think one night was good? Or is two better?

  • I checked in at the hospital at 6am, surgery was at 8:30am & I was home by 12:30pm! I felt great when I woke up & even better in my own comfy bed!

    I was outpatient. I think it really depends what you're comfortable with. If you are the sort of person who likes to have a nurse at your disposal 24/7, staying longer in the hospital is probably bett

  • I had my surgery at a surgical center. I left within hours of surgery. I did fine. So I would say 1 day is enough.

So I spent 4 days in a recliner :) GOOD LUCK!!

I was in the recliner also for the whole first week! :OD

One night was enough for me. I was given pain meds to take at home but never needed them.

My self pay price included two nights but I had zero issues or complications. I was keeping water down without nausea, and walking and overall doing great so I was giving the option to stay or go home. I chose to go home. You will know what is right for you. Some folks really need that second night. Better to stay a bit longer and be sure you won't end up dehydrated.
