Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi, I am wondering how long the hospital stays were for those of you who had upper and lower surgeries. I understand everyone is different, but just curious. Thanks, katie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi , I had upper/lower/genio - went in on a Wednesday at 7am and was out by the next day, Thursday at noon. If you have the opportunity to stay and the nurses are being helpful I would stay as long as you need. Good luck! > Hi, I am wondering how long the hospital stays were for those of you > who had upper and lower surgeries. I understand everyone is > different, but just curious.

When my body got rid of it, I was able to eat, and leave. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 I went in at 6:00 in the morning, had surgery (upper and lower) around 9:00 and was out the next morning at 9:00. I told my OS I didn't want to be there any longer than necessary! Hospitals are for sick people ~Cathy length of hosp stay Hi, I am wondering how long the hospital stays were for those of you who had upper and lower surgeries.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hey , i had both upper and lower done and i stayed overnight in the hospital. I was up walking around,breathing fine, and peeing on my own. The doctors said i was doing well and it was up to me if id like to stay another night or go home. Since i was sleeping too well in the hospital setting (the give me the creeps sometimes) we all came to the conclusion that id do better at home. But really its up to u and ur team of surgeons. > Hi, I am wondering how long the hospital stays were for those of you > who had upper and lower surgeries.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Wow, you guys have been great! I am impressed and excited to hear how many of you just stayed one night in the hospital. I have discussed the vomiting issue with doc and will with anethes. on morning of surgery. I too have been nervous about my 9 month old head butting me. She is a bit of a wild one and super lovey, which of course is all around your neck and face. Communicating and being physical with her feels, at the moment, like it may be the hardest part. Although I have to say, reading some posts, i am somewhat surprised at the long road still ahead some people mentioned at the six week mark. Thanks for the feedback. > > Hi, I am wondering how long the hospital stays were for those of > you > > who had upper and lower surgeries. I understand everyone is > > different, but just curious.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I ad upper/lower/palatal split and some stuff done to my nose to make breathing easier. I went into surgery at 7AM on first day, was out of surgery at 1PM and then went home two days later (first night in ICU, second in regular bed). They kept me primarily because they were concerned about complications of breathing I think (which I didn't have). > Hi, I am wondering how long the hospital stays were for those of you > who had upper and lower surgeries.
