How long was your typical hospitalization?

Dr. told me that the hospitalization should be around 3 days - Monday - Wednesday. Did most of you have that or a longer hospitalization? Did you feel ready to come home or did you feel that you needed a longer stay at the hospital? TIA

I came home at 54 hours. I had a TAH. I was fine coming home at that time.

Oops! I forgot to say TAH-both ovaries and cervix to be removed.

I was in the hospital from 9:30 AM on Monday to Wednesday evening at 7:00 PM. It was probably the right amount of time, I was ready to come home.

I came home after three days went into the hospital on thursday August 3, 2006 at noon and checked out Sunday noon.

I had surgery on Thursday, came home Sunday afternoon. If you are able to be up walking and not having a lot of pain, you will be ready. Just rest a lot when you get home! Best of luck..

I went in on a Tuesday morning and came home Thursday afternoon following a total abdominal hyst and left oophrectomy. I would have liked to come home sooner but my bowel was very, very sleepy and uncooperativ. I had a private room (far better than the only other time I was in the hospital in a shared room) with a fine staff and attentive husband. But, still, I was like Dorothy clicking my ruby slippers the whole time, saying "There's no place like home, there's no place like home...

Be sure and get up as soon as possible after surgery and walk as much as possible. It's tough at first but you'll feel better each time.

My surgery was on a monday left the hospital on thursday because I was full of gas and of course I had to pass it before they let me out.

I had a LAVH/BSO on Wed morning at 7:30 am and had a few complications, but still managed to be discharged by 7:00pm on Friday evening and was very ready. I needed my own bed and bathroom. Even though I had my own room and my dh stayed with me. There's no place like home. Lynn
