How long were you in the hospital?

I was in the hospital for 2 days, they have to do a leak test and make sure that you're tolerating liquids. Just make sure you walk a lot

My program schedules people for 2 nights typically, but I was there for 3 nights because of cardiac Afib.

Teachamy, how fast was your heart rate?

I was in the hospital overnight. The morning after the surgery they took me to have my leak test, About 11, they sent up a bottle of Water and some carnation instant Breakfast. The nurse had me start the one ounce cups of water and then around noon, the dr came in and had me try to drink the carnation instant breakfast. After I could hold that down, I went home....probably about 2 pm. Was in the hospital a total of 32 hrs.

My DR requires a 2 day stay for everyone; however, I had some blood issues (I'm on blood thinners) and had to stay an extra day (3 days total).

Hello everyone,

I was in the hospital for 2 nights. I can't imagine staying just one! I was on some really good pain meds. I walked every time I got up to go to the bathroom which was about every 2 hours or so. Helped to get the CO2 out of my body quicker.

Surgery at 11 am...left the hospital about noon the next day.

Overnight stay for me as well. Surgery at 2:15, discharged the next day around 3:30. They made sure I was walking, urinating, passing glass, and able to keep down both water and 2oz of optisource "shake" before sending me on my way.
