My surgery is on Wednesday so I figured I'd ask in the post op section. I have to stay 2 nights, and I was just wondering if anyone ended up having to stay longer than they thought? And any reasons you'd have to stay longer? Thanks!

@jrquinter hi I was in hospital for 5 days / 4 nights. Reason is because my body kind of shut down on me, wouldn't allow anything other than Water go down and even then it was a major struggle. I wasn't too worried as I knew I was being well taken care ofAll started to get better on day 4, Ihad the Barium Swallow to ensure everything was ok. It hurt drinking that horrid stuff but you do what you have to do to ensure that the medical team that are taking care of you are doing just that.

Nope mine was two days, the only way you would need to stay longer is if you had a complication(fingers crossed you won't)

I stayed 3 days due to a slight fever.

I was in just one night and did fine!

I was in for just one night, I was scheduled in for 2 but I didn't need it as I was up and walking around. You will be fine and take your time if you feel you need longer then speak to those looking after you.
