    Hi everyone , I just wondered if anyone has gone straight home after surgery even if you lived more than an hour away ? I’m struggling to sort things out at home that will allow me to stay away for the night in a hotel but I know that’s what they ask you to do. Are they flexible with this rule or is it a must ? Could really do with just going straight home . Thanks

    I lived 2/3 hours away from where I had my surgery, I went straight home! Just tell them your staying in a nearby hotel

    I live 1 hour 20 minutes away and I went home. I felt it was more important for me to recover at home with home comforts. I did tell a white lie and said I lived 55 minutes away though. Xxxx

    I think 2.5 hours is a bit far. I was 1.5 hours away but went home. I was still a bit tachycardic when I was discharged and had told them I was staying at my grandma’s an hour away. Had to give the address too! At the time I kinda wished I’d stayed at the hotel just incase

    Hi im 3day po. I came straight home which was 2.5hours. Tbh im glad i came home as i was still pretty out of it, whereas i was a bit more tender the day after. I gathered that if there was an emergency id go to A&E anyway. Xx
