First day/night in hospital?

I am wondering how you were the first night. I am trying to figure out if my husband should bring the kids or wait until day 2. Any suggestions? My surgery is scheduled for noon.

      All I did was sleep. I even told my husband to leave because I couldn't stay awake to talk to him. The first night for me was rough. Threw up and some dry heaves. Day 2 I felt a little better lat

    There's no way to know whats in store for you post op. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT so there's no use in asking. You could breeze right through it like some of us and hop out of bed the minute you wake up. Or you could be like others and have a terrible time.. Or worse.. Complications. It's a hit and miss. So play it safe and keep the kids away. Your kids are very capable ... More than what you think, but you don't need the added stress if you happen to have a rough post op.

    I was fine immediately after the surgery but at mute time I has gas pains. I was in pain and wanted meds and sleep. 2 nd day I was much better.

    Thanks everyone! I don't think there will be time for them to come see me. Also I don't even think my husband will be there when I wake up, which is fine. As long as I can get my phone when they transfer me to my room I'm all good. Lol
