How long do you stay at the hospital? Are you put under completely?

I was there one night and discharged in the morning. I was put under.

same for me - 1 night and put under.

Me too. 1 night stay and put under. Can't imagine it any other way!

I was put under but I went home with hubby same day and just put myself to bed when I got home. I just checked out until next day. I had two days of soreness when I leaned over . I would forget and say Oh yeah I had surgery. I had to hold myself back for the next 5 days because I felt so good. Then I started walking slowly and built my exercise program back up.

I was supposed to go home the same day but ended up spending the night. I was put under. The surgery was easy and quick (about 30 mins). I was back to my old self in a day or two. ~Mandy

Piercedqt78: is there a reason why you stayed after being supposed to go home the same day?

Alot of doctors do outpatient now. Mine was an overnight stay. Yes, they put you out completely.

I went in on Thursdy January 11th and went home the next day around 6:30pm.

I had a hematoma (sp?). They kept me as a precaution. I was fine, could have gone home same day, but the doc wanted to keep an eye on me. ~Mandy

I went in around 7AM and was back in the car around 11AM. Short and sweet and I did just fine. Yes, as far as I know this is considered major surgery and you are completely under for the procedure.

Thank you guys for replying.

I was an overnight patient (totally anestisized). Released the following morning and returned to the hotel long enough to store luggage...and hailed a taxi to Revolution Blvd in TJ and shopped all that afternoon. Never had a pain pill one, walking was recommended to get rid of the gas that they use to blow your tummy up for the surgery. Left San Diego the following morning, flew to Dallas, then drove to my home in Oklahoma. I was tired but in NO pain.

Oh my!! That is amazing! I hope I am the same way.

I had surgery at 1:30 in the afternoon and was in the hospital for two nights. Was only suppose to be one night but I was very nausious (sp) still the day after so my surgeon wanted to keep me an extra night. Once home I felt fine just a few problems with getting rid of the gas that they use to blow your stomach up.

one night--and i WANTED to stay overnight. didn't want husband to have to be the full-time nurse right after surgery. also, my surgery wasn't until late in the day--so i couldn't have gone home anyway. was walking the hall at 2:30 am because i couldn't sleep, and had MILD gas pain. left the next morning at 10:30 a.m.

tip: get a pain pill before you leave the hospital next day--it's MUCH easier on you for the ride home. EVERYONE on my floor did--i'm glad i did too, and i only had about a 20 min commute back home.
