Go home same day as TVH???
I had my preop yesterday (surgery 9/15). The GYN said that I could go home later that evening if everything is working out (urinating, eating, no nausea). I'm not sure I want to do this! My insurance will cover the overnight, so that's not an issue. Any input on other TVH-ers? Did you go home the same day or stay over? Any input is appreciated! Two days and counting!!!

If your insurance covers the overnight, then take the overnight. You just might not feel up to going home. I had an LAVH--was supposed to stay only one night but it turned into two nights because of a bladder problem. I was glad to stay that 2nd night....everything was done for me. Once I got home, I had help but it was not the same as being a "princess in the castle"....good luck on whatever you decide. :-)

I had TVH/BSO with a spinal and "twilight" meds. I stayed in the hospital overnight and was very happy to do so. I was hooked up on IVs till the next morning. I don't think that I'd been happy to come home the same day. It was just much safer feeling to stay overnight. The nursing staff was wonderful. I had no complaints. It was just nice.
Good Luck on your surgery. Keep in touch.

I would definately take the night in the hospital as bad as it sounds. The nurses will monitor you and make sure that your pain is managed. I ended up staying two nights after a TVH because I had some bladder damage and I also was not breathing well on my own. They would have let me out in one day, but gave me the option to stay another night. I took the extra night. That was better than ending up in the ER.

I had the basic TVH and was glad to stay the night. I had no complications and everything went well, I was pretty much out of it the whole first day and didn't actually come to my senses until about midnight (surgery was at 8:00 that morning). I would stay if at all possible.

I had a TVH (9:45am) and have a high tolerance for pain, but was sooooo thankful for the PCA pump for pain control. Definitely stay the night.....I was glad I did (pain for me was quite manageable with just Advil the next morning, but it wouldn't have been during that first night). Best wishes with your surgery & recovery!

When I asked my doctor if this could be a day surgery she QUICKLY replied that she didn't think that hysterectomies were not appropriate for day surgery (even TVHs ~ which is what she is planning for me last time we talked). I'm gonna trust her judgement on this, but it will be the first time I'll be in a castle over night.

Meri,
I have not had my TVH BSO yet, but my dr has told me that I for sure will need to stay over at least one night. Take the time to rest in the hospital, I'm sure you will be glad you did.
May you have a quick recovery!
LL

I also stayed overnight.I also think it's safer that way.I did very well after my surgery, but the lady next to me didn't do so well.It's better to have doctors & nurses nere by just incase you need them.If your insurance is covering it, I say go for it.Better to be safe than sorry!
