Rose Madura My initial hospital stay was six days. I developed a lot of complications which required me to be readmitted four times for a total of 24 days in the hospital. But you should not worry about how many days you will spend in the hospital. Everyone is different and each journey is singular. There are others on this site who were out in 3-4 days and did great. It's best to do research, get a good surgeon at a good hospital. Make a decision and run with it. If I can do it, anyone can. Godspeed . ❤️🩹💪👍🪖

Grace Mason 5 days in the hospital for me, I believe that is typical. Recovery is pretty varied. I am 5 months out and feeling pretty normal. I felt well enough to do most things on my own by day 3, other than lifting and pushing or pulling heavy things, but tired easily. Each week you gain some stamina back. I went back to work part time at 10 weeks (desk job) and full time at 14 weeks.

Rich Butela I went in Monday morning and was discharged Friday afternoon. I was blessed to have no real complications and was pretty asymptomatic when I went in.
