I'm having a total laparoscopic hysterectomy next week and have got the paperwork through for the operation this morning. I'm due in at noon so have the afternoon slot for theatre and it says I'm a daycase. Is this right? It doesn't sound it. I was told by the surgeon that I might be home the next day so was expecting a one/two night stay in hospital. It's fairly major surgery isn't it? And I'm expecting to be hooked up to painkillers and a catheter etc for a good while afterwards. DH spoke to the booking secretary and she said I should expect to be discharged at 8pm that night which just sounds really quick and at odds with everything I've seen on patient literature (NHS, private, US). I could do without the stress of them realising I need to be in for a while with nowhere to put me.
Has anyone had a hysterectomy and been out in a few hours?
