[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gyne is recommending hysterectomy because there are "too many things going on" with my uterus including lots of little fibroids, abnormally thick lining following an ablation. I look 4 months pregnant. She said laparoscopic surgery and home that night is the way to go. I am terrified at the thought of coming home hours after major surgery. I stayed in the hospital 2 days after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. I also had a two day stay for stomach surgery. My insurance won't pay for an overnight stay unless I do full abdominal surgery. I've had same day gynecological surgery before and it went badly. I took a long time coming out of GA, bled a river, couldn't get the pain under control, and in one case, passed out in the car on the way home. How do I widen my pool of options?[/quote]

I had one several years ago, and was planned to go home same day but I had a bad reaction to the anethesia and so stayed over ight. If not for the bad reaction, I would have felt fine to go home same day. They aren't going to send you home if there is anything unusual going on, so why not plan to go home same day and if you have any concerns then be a strong self-advocate for another night - in fact, remind your doctor ahead of time of your past issues with surgery and confirm that she'd authorize an overnight if you have any troubles. Not sure if this is what you are intimating but a traditional surgical hyst is so much harder to recover from than a laproscopic, so I would never opt for that given a choice. [/quote]
