If I would have had a big incision I don't think I could have gone home this soon, NEVER did before......probably in 2 days (haha). I just had surgery yesterday at 2:00PM and went to recovery at 3:30 and came home at 9:00PM! Nurses didn't even get to know me in my room and I was leaving. They use to take out stitches before you went home...not any more!!
I had it laproscopically this time and he originally told me probably 2 days but changed it. This is new to me because I never had laproscopy before. Allot of people there went home right away.....nurse said they don't like to keep them the week-end! Sometimes I think it is dangerous to send people home that fast cause if you were to have complications or infection etc. it will happen at home now instead of in a hospital like before.....but then again the hospitals are under-staffed and not too safe anymore!! We have a shortage of nurses in the US! Jean . . .

Hi Jean, Thanks for the info, did you say that you had surgery and you were home a few hrs later. Is this normal in the US.
