Day surgery

Hello ladies - just curious... Has anyone had their BA done and come out of hospital the same day? It was discussed as an option at my consultation that I shouldn't need to stay the night but it makes me nervous! X

I would also like to know answer to this. It will be one of my questions at my next consultation.

I was told by my surgeon on the day of my BA that if I felt well enough I could go home the same day as my op was at 8am. I opted to stay over night as I really didn't feel up to travelling home. Some people feel fine though, Im sure it's quiet common for people to go home the same day X

It's common to be offered it. I think it's handy if you're very local to the clinic. But also, to the opposite of Muddy's story, they won't discharge you if you're a day case, and you're not ready. If they need to keep you overnight for observation, they will.

My op is going to be early and my surgeon is holiday after that so hes not even going to be there next day. i only live 20mins away from the hospital so i will ask at my next consult. If im not felling up to it though i will be staying put. Thanks ladies. xx

I was a day case.
Had my op at about 13:30 and I went home at 20:00

The drive home was a blurr as I was so drugged up, but I was just glad to get back to my home comforts. Hubby wanted me to stay in, and my ps said I could (at no extra cost which I thought was good) However, I went home.

I live about an hour away from the hospital i'd say? It was the Transform hospital Abbey Pines I think its called. Lovely place and staff.

Good Luck

Thanks ladies! I think I'd feel better by staying but you are right Charlii - they wouldn't sign off release unless I was ready.

What with kids at home etc I just think I'd get more peace in hospital but I guess I'll play it by ear! X

Hi ya
I was in for 7.30 am had my op done at 9.45 and was at home by 6.30 pm. I would rather be home and sit in my own bed even though I was in so much pain!!!!! All was ok for me x

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I wasn't given any option by my surgeon but to stay in overnight, and part of me is grateful for that! I have two small children (one of which is a 7 month old baby who sometimes wakes in the night) so I'm sort of looking forward to a night "off"! Although I'm anxious about being away from both kids as I haven't done it before.
