How long was you in hospital?

[lisa x]

Hi..:wave_cry:
Could you tell me how long you were in hospital for...?
After reading some diaries I have sort of concluded its about 3 days(4 if you go in the night before)
I am looking at a bypass or sleeve at the Luton and Dunstable ...but just wondered how long they keep you in for...
(mainly so I can tell my mum how long she will have the kids lol)
thanks xx

Lisa, I had a bypass done and stayed in 2 nights i could have come out the next day but because of distance i had to travel stayed the extra night.

At Charing Cross I was in 2 nights and out about 6pm on the 3rd day (could have gone a bit earlier but wanted to have some dinner before the long journey home.

hi Lisa, both my daughter and myself had to be at the hospital at 7am the day of the surgery "they will tell you at your pre op appointment where you are on the list, we were both first to go down", so counting the day of surgery average is 3 days, but it could be longer if there are any problems.PLEASE DON'T PANIC AT THIS because problems could just be something stupid like your oxygen levels are not up enough or prescription isn't ready or it's snowing and your hubby cant get to the hospital to pick you up.

i had my surgery early friday morning, and came home sunday teatime.

Or they were desperate for a bed x

wow that is a short time..am i right in saying yours was an open op too???

 

[phatmomma]

Yes Lisa, mine was open! I must admit i felt rough (not unwell) when i left but there was no way i was staying once they said i could go! As i've said before my bypass surgery was very kind to me - we have a mutual love for each other xx

I had to be there at the L & D for 11am on the day of surgery (Monday) had op at 3.30pm and came home on the Wednesday lunch time.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

I had my op on the Thursday & came home on the Sunday, I was very grateful of having all that time in hospital.x

 

[lisa x]

Thanks Sharon and Julie..
I remember when I had my babies (by section) I was itching to get home...
Julie I am shocked to be honest that after major surgery ..you were sent home the day after...!

thanks Sharon...its nice to know where i stand really...

I better start buttering up my mum now huh..lol

 

[daftmoo]

I went in the night before because of distance and I was 1st on the list

 

[Grace]

I was admitted the day before (Monday), had op Tuesday...lots of complications unfortunately, though nothing major in the end. Finally came home Saturday..so 6 days in all...and they'd have liked to keep me another day! I think by the sound of it, my experience was unusual....no wonder I felt so fed up!
But I'd still do it all again Lisa!
