I was wondering how long you stayed in the hospital?  Did that seem long enough?  Was anyone on anticoagulants ?  thanks

Two nights. I went in Tuesday morning, was home Thursday morning. That's pretty much average. Some are in only one night. I could have gone home after 1, but glad I stayed for 2. All I went home with was some pain meds.

My surgery was at 8am Tuesday morning, and I went home at about 3pm on Wednesday.

I had anticoagulants to take for about a week post-op. The pharmacy gave me pre-filled disposable syringes, and I had to inject one into my stomach twice a day.

I was in the hospital one night, similar to @sparklekitty ....surgery at 7:30 am Monday (10 days ago) and discharged Tuesday @3:00 pm.  I wasn't on anticoagulants.  I felt this was the perfect amount of time in the hospital and actually was going to be released earlier in the day but they were backed up in the blood lab so my last tests didn't come back for a long time.  I would have been going mad stir crazy if I had stayed another night but everyone is different.  Good luck!
