Simple question for post op sisters

I had a TAH/BSO and stayed two nights. Felt great when I went home.

my surgery was at 9.00am on march 20th I came home on march 22nd at 5:00 pm
I would have came home the 22nd in the moring but I had run a slight fever the night before
I agree with the other sisters they will not let you out to soon
you have to pass all the test then they will let you go home
hope this makes you feel better

I had a tah/bso and stayed two nights. My surgery was Friday at 7.30am and I was discharged on Sunday around noon.

Hi Irae,

Tomorrow, it will be two weeks since my TAH. Following my surgery, I spent five nights in the hospital.

The length of stay definitely varies from one person to the next. I'm sure what others have already said will be true - that the hospital will not let you go before you're ready.

Best wishes and HUGS to you!

Hi,

I went in on 3-26 and was released on 3-28. I was surprised at the quick release since the doc has initially estimated 5 days. I am glad to be home though.

If you have very much of a travel distance from the castle to your home, ASK FOR PAIN MEDICINE BEFORE DISCHARGE. That was my only regret. I had not had anything from 10 pm the night before until I left the castle at noon. The ride home was only 20 minutes but I was miserable. I wasn't in much pain at the hospital so I didn't think about it.

On the wheelchair ride out, the 200 yr old volunteer that was driving ran the chair into the wall at about 20 miles an hour. I hope I'm that fast at that age Thank God my sense of humor wasn't removed with my uterus. The bumpy roads after that just continued to aggravate the pain.

I had tvh with posterior repair
Good luck,

I went in on Thursday, 2/28, at 9:30 a.m. had surgery 11 a.m. I was released on Saturday after lunch. I could have stayed up until midnight, but when they lost half of my wonderful liquid lunch, I know it was time to go home. The insurance company only approved 2 days. Wonder when the last time they had major surgery was?????

Good luck, Nancy
