7am Admission Started by: Emily x

It’s difficult to say tbh but looks like you may be first. My admission time was 10 am and the nurse from my ward said I’m the 4th on the list. Was taken to the theatre around 12.35.
I would arrange a childcare for the whole day cuz even if you are first, it may take a good couple of hours to get discharged.
Hope it helps xx

It’s quite likely with such an early admission that you’ll be first on the theatre list. It’s definitely worth arranging childcare for the full day though, everyone reacts differently to anaesthetic no saying how you’ll feel. In most cases surgeons like to see their patients before discharge too so you could be ready to go but just waiting to see the surgeon. Best of luck ?

I think they normally give two or three girls the same admission slot each day, so with that in mind, having such an early admission time you won’t be too far down the list at all. My admission time was 8am and I was first on the list for that day; I went down to theatre at 9am and was back in my room just after 10am and discharged at 1:30pm. How quickly you recover will determine how soon you can be discharged. If they want to monitor you for any reason afterwards, then you may be required to stay in for a little while longer. For peace of mind, to save you from stressing and to give yourself all the time you need to recover at your own pace, I definitely agree with those saying to arrange childcare for the full day. Good luck for Friday! Not much longer to wait now!

Good luck for tomorrow ? x
