PRH folks: "Typical" stay time in hospital

For the PRH folks - and I know it depends on your surgeon and procedure, but for these purposes, lets say RNY, how long was your hospital stay?  1 night?  2 nights?

Also looking into getting things in order for when I have surgery.  Thankfully we have friends in Dover that can put DH up for the night.

I didn't have my surgery at PRH; it was a Tufts in Boston.  But I was scheduled for late afternoon.  I think I finally went in around 4:30, so I was in the hospital for 2 nights in all.  One piece of advice for you.  When they try to get you out of bed, do it.  I begged them not to make me get up right away because I was in so much pain, but I really paid for it later that first night.  I should have gotten up when they wanted me to.  Because then when I was ready and needed to get up about 6 hours later, there was no one to help me, so I had to wait, and that was the worst!

Hi Jenn,
As you know I am pre-op so I can only speak from research and experience of other surgeries.  For lap rny I always read to expect 2-5 days as an average range with most being in for 3 nights.  From there it is very personal, your relative health, age, and so on.  Gens told me to plan on 3-4 nights.  Of course, I have several medical issues and a history of being slow to recover and some reactions to meds.  Regardless of all else, you must be taking in fluids, producing urine and (...so on) before you will be discharged.  Treading

I had surgery at 7am wednesday and came home friday afternoon.

I was first on the list on a Monday and came home Wednesday night. I could have stayed another night but I wanted my own bed :) And yes I agree get up asap! I did and to tell you the truth I don't remember it - I was still drugged :)

I had mine on a tuesday and was home late thursday afternoon
