Length of hospital stay?



Recommended Posts

How long were most of you in the hospital for? I've read some people have just one over night stay, some have had 4 days in.. What can I expect? I'm only taking 2 weeks off work, that better be enough

It was supposed to have been two nights, but I stayed three nights because I could not drink enough to stay hydrated. I went home the morning of day three and I was fine. I took one week off from work and was fine. Good luck.

Surgery was around 9:00am on a Tuesday and I was released Wednesday afternoon around 4:30pm.

Took 3 weeks off to allow the simultaneous umbilical hernia repair to heal.

Thanks guys (and gals). I'm work in Human Resources so I don't want to take much time off. My employees need me :-)

They need you to be healthy, too!

You don't get bonus points for going back too early, especially if you have complications or just need more time to recover.

2 nights. Was released late afternoon on the 3rd day. I had to stay a bit longer due to my blood pressure spiking post op, uncontrollable nausea, and inability to drink enough (they required 40oz a day in the hospital)...

You take care of yourself first and worry about recovery. In my opinion, they'll probably do fine while you are away. You just concentrate on healing.

I had surgery on a Thursday morning and went home around 3 pm Friday. I was in my office on Tuesday and traveled for work at 2 and a half weeks post op.

One night. Surgery at 2 PM, went home at 8 PM the next day. Recovery was really fast and I was back at work after taking off 6 days.

Mine was last week and was outpatient. 9:30 procedure and home by 3:30. Had an awesome team before and after at the clinic and at home. I am taking 7 days from work + the 2 weekends. Best advice is take the time you feel you need to be 100%. Good luck!!

I wasn't going to rush it. Insurance covers up to 5 days, but mostly allowing for complications. I figured maybe two nights. However my colleague was in Cleveland clinic giving her husband a kidney. She came home sick after 2 days post op. Hubby still in 2 weeks later. Both reportedly contracted "hospital infections". She told me to leave as soon as I could. Great surgeons but so many germs. Ugh

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
