Question for open procedure bypassers/banders

Officially a loser
How long was your hospital inpatient stay?
 
ooh... thats just reminded me. Dr Hartland said last night that BEN will not fund Lap procedure, so anyone from BEN PCT will have open surgery.

The leaflet I was given says expect 4 days in hospital but Ana said if you are up and about, walking and feeling OK would be allowed home sooner
 
not heard that saying for years Terri.

It was one of the questions on my list and Dr Hartland said it depends on PCT. Ana went to look it up for me and then came back and said BEN only fund open due to cost differences.
 
I was in for 3 nights post op (and one extra the night before my op) I think it was just the right amount of time so you can get used to sleeping (or not sleeping in my case!) and walking about and stuff xx
