Re: Coming home same day?
I prefer the overnight stay at the very least.
My surgery was late (about 5:00 or 5:30 PM).
It took about 5 hours.
My family didn't hear from the doctor for a long time, so by the time I got out, it was 11:00 P.M. I was staying overnight.
The next morning, the doctor stopped by, and asked me to go home that day.
I told him that i wanted to stay another night.
He was fine with it.
After a few hours, I realized that I could have rested at home.
So my answer is that I think one night is fine.
Outpatient for a hysterectomy is doable, but I am not sure I would suggest it.
Just me.

Re: Coming home same day?
I think it depends on alot of different factors. Like what kind of surgery and any extra repairs, complications, etc... I had a LSH and went home the same night. But the dr would have okay'd an overnight if I was feeling sick or had any complications. The best thing for me was getting out of the hospital and sleeping in my own bed and not being bothered by nurses and such. But I would not have hesitated to ask to stay if I wasn't feeling well enough to go!

Well, I am in the van on the way home. I feel okay with going home. Yes, there is some pain but not as bad as I expected. I know I'll rest better at home.
