so..i'm due to have a hysterectomy in about a week or so..i have 20 pounds of masses pushing things where they shouldn't be in my gut,so out it comes. i sure won't miss being afraid of sneezing too hard.. i did not need their wonderful great description of "we'll make 3 cuts here,then pull it out your.."..nevermind.

but,what i was getting at.. they say after the surgery,they are sending me home.the same day.

say what? now,they did this the last 2 times i had surgery for something else,but.. is it just me,or do they seem a little quick to be sending home? they used to keep you for at least a week just in case. i hear new mothers get sent home in a day now too..

It is correct, new mothers are often sent home the same day. Surgery has progressed a lot and most surgeries do not require that the patient stays in the hospital several days. They could decide to keep you overnight if this will be necessary.

@rakski My husband had a double hernia surgery, they kept him during the night only because his blood pressure had dropped, but the day after he was at home.

That does seem odd for the complications that could arise. I am not sure, I pretty much stopped seeing doctors and hospitals with the way they made it all about money. I would not know if that is the new normal, but pretty sure if it is, because they did indeed just see a price tag on us.

Wow. Even I'm supposed to be kept overnight after I have my surgery (whenever the hell that winds up happening) and they are just removing my fallopian tubes and cleaning up the scar tissue/endometriosis in there. I've always heard that they keep you in the hospital about 5 days for a hysterectomy. I've never heard of anyone being sent home the same day.
