Day Cases..Over night stays???

Hi girls,

Im a bit confused really...before I found this wonderful site I always assumed that when you had a BA you stayed in over night and weren't aloud home, but i see most people go home the same day, I assume you only have to stay overnight if you are a later appointment.

Im going with the hospital group and they charge £150 to be picked up and dropped of with an overnight stay, which im not opting for as hubby has a company vehicle and free fuel/mileage so would seem ridiculous to opt to pay extra lol.

But i always assumed as your undergoing quite a traumatic thing for your body to go through then u'd be expected to stay overnight?

I would probably prefer to stay overnight as im an over thinker and i would worry about things going wrong if i left to early lol sounds silly i know.

are you booked in with them yet? when i booked with them over night seemed standard, i know locals they let go home the same day if they was fine

I was quoted £4600 for an overnight stay and £4200 to go home! Bit of a no brainer really. Especially when I live 10 miles from the hospital and they said if the surgeon didn't think I was well enough to go home they would keep me in at no extra cost anyway.

Kinda made me wonder why anyone would opt to pay the extra if this was the case??

I suppose if you're travelling a long way to get there the last thing you want is a long car journey when you're all sore and groggy. xx Day Cases..Over night stays??? 588945

i was just quoted a price with stay which was £4095 for natrelle implants

I had the same concerns on what to do but my surgery was giong to cost a extra £500.
I hate staying in hospital so I am hoping for a day case, see how I feel about travelling home.If I feel not up to it My bf and I can stay in a hotel near the hospital.
In any case if the hospital think im unwel they will keep me in overnight.x

i wasn't even given the option of a day case my co-ordinator said overnight is always best as i'm having drains and can have them removed before i go home.

i'd much rather be in there safe hands the first night also have a 2 and half hr journey to hospital fingers crossed the chauffeur included drives sensibly or that'll be the worst drive of my life lol xx

I haven't been given the option of a daycase either. At first I would have prefered daycase but I'm quite looking forward to a restful night now as have noone at home to take care of me!..(or maybe i'm just too independant to ask!)

by nikitaw86 29th August 2011, 3:08 pm

yeah same here everyone is helping out so much with little man i feel i don't wanna be a bigger burden so opted for chauffeur as well so no one has to drive me about!! besides i think if i go on my own i can freak out etc and no one has to worry about me xx

I was also told id have to stay overnight because i live more than 30 mins from the hospital. Some people say they've stayed in a nearby hotel so they dont have to pay for the overnight stay but i wouldnt feel comfortable with this so am quite happy to be staying overnight, Im a bit of an overthinker too welshvicci!!! lol so any worries i have i know i can speak to someone about directly and things always seem worse to me at night xxx

Hey vicci,

i went in at 3pm for op at 4pm and was omw home by 730pm. I did have my BF taking me home, but I felt much better in my own bed. I don't know how things would differ with drains - as I didn't have them.

good luck!!

I was a day case, and felt so much better being in my own bed and home. xxx

by nikitaw86 29th August 2011, 4:02 pm

yeah everyone has different preferences

well a friend of mine was day case and had to go home with the drains then return to have them removed i'd much rather stay one night then have the nurse remove them before i leave and the morphine will be a bonus as just get sent home with painkillers lol xx

by jen86 29th August 2011, 4:25 pm

i was overnight cos transform apparently dont let u go home if its ur first time having GA. xx

by jen86 29th August 2011, 4:25 pm

opt for day case, n should they decide to keep u in, they will do it at no extra cost!! xx

by nikitaw86 29th August 2011, 4:26 pm

oh do they not they never said that to me just said overnight is always best x

by **kay** 29th August 2011, 4:28 pm

If you are a day case you will save about £500 xx

Like Jen said if they change your surgery time or think you should stay in it won't cost you anything xx

by peggysue 29th August 2011, 4:32 pm

Unless of course you are looking forward to the peace and pampering...which is always lovely xx

by annaliese76 29th August 2011, 4:38 pm

I wouldnt mind so much if i was actually able to go home in my own bed (altho with 3 children, one of whom is only 15 mths i think ill be glad of a short rest away!) but if i did go 4 a day case id have to stay in a hotel so wouldnt be ideal 4 me xxx

by staceygrundy 29th August 2011, 4:57 pm

i had a consultation with The hospital group and they said they keep you over night as standard and im going with transform and they said that you could do either but as ive had loads of ops before they said im ok to go home!

ive had loads of medical ops and for me i like to be at home in my own bed xx

by lou231179 29th August 2011, 7:12 pm

My overnight stay was included in the fixed price of £4000 with Spire and if you don't stay in you don't get any money back so i made the most of the rest 9as I have 3 & 5 year old boys at home) and stayed in overnight, watched tv, read my kindle and had lovely food and wine but I'm not sure I would have paid much extra to have stayed in as I only lived 20 mins from the hospital.
