Posteria Vaginal Repair

Hi ladies my op is tomorrow. Im a little confussed about how long i will have to stay in hospital. The paperwork from the hospital suggests 4 days+ but my op letter suggests it is day case surgery? How long were you in hospital for and how long before you went back to work? X

2

I was in for 3 nights tracey but I know more hospitals are performing this surgery as a day case. Why don't you ring the consultants secretary or the ward so you can make any plans?

Sorry meant to add, I was off work for 13 weeks and went back on a graduated return basis for 4 weeks. A lot depends on how you feel and what job you do.

Thanks Matron,i spoke to the ward but they were unsure. I think i will pack a bag for a couple of days and another bag at home incase it is longer for hubby to bring if needed x

Hi Tracey1909, I was told 2/3 days when I had my op 4 weeks ago...but as I was still retaining urine quite a bit after, i ended up being in for 4 days..still recovering but not taking things as easy as I should be...best of luck with your op.xxx

Good idea. Hope everything goes well tomorrow tracey and keep in touch.

Hi I had my op about 6 months ago. Had op on the Monday afternoon and was discharged Wednesday afternoon. Was lucky I only needed paracetamol for pain relief and had bowel movement in the comfort of my own loo Thursday morning. Take things easy when you get home and listen to your body. Good luck

Thanks for the advise Nannylin x

Hi, I had a posterior repair last week (UK) they kept me in for 2 nights only because my blood pressure was low, everyone else was going home after 1  night. Good luck

I had the three repairs done and stayed in for 3 nights. I am now 10 weeks post op and I am good except if I stand or walk too long and then it's rest time ! Thoughts and prayers are with you for tomorrow and yes as all have said listen to your body and rest X
