How many nights in hospital?

[Kindle 8,667]

Surgery at 3pm Friday Discharged at 9am Saturday. No pain, no nausea, drinking Water and apple juice. No reason to stay. Went back Monday morning for barium fluoroscopy and to have drain removed.

You had a drain? Is that common?

All surgeons have different preferences. Mine put a drain in everyone as a third leak check, put I've heard that he doesn't anymore.

I was in overnight, but I think it was afternoon the next day by the time I went home.

My doc said 1-2 nights. Surgery was early on a Thursday, spent one night and by late Friday afternoon I had passed my leak test, had a liquid lunch and the surgeon said I could go home that night if I wanted or stay a second night if I preferred. I went home and it was fine but since I was sleeping most of the time a second night in the hospital would have been OK too.

I stayed 2 nights. My surgery was afternoon on a Monday. That night when I woke up I was pretty out of it, didn't give a damn that I had a catheter in even though I had never had one of those. I had my pain pump and slept. Tuesday I concentrated on sipping Water and sleeping. Wednesday I went home after noon.

I'm glad that I had those 2 nights of supervision and help from nurses and their staff.

Stayed one night... once you pass leak test, void on your own and tolerate 10 oz fluids fyi.... don't let the nurse take iv out until your signing discharge papers.. every drop counts for hydration... good luck...

One night and I was bypass.

They were prepared to release me after 1 night, but my blood count was strangely low so they kept me a second night. Fortunately it was a rather pleasant stay thanks to the great staff at the Portsmouth Regional Resort and Spa (or hospital, call it what you wish). All was normal by the next day, so I drank the required Protein shake with no problem and off I went.
