has anyone gone home after the op..

hiya girls has any1 gone home after the op, like stayed there for a few hours then gone home an not stayed in a hotel after.

Yeah I did, but that’s only because I was 20 mins away from the hospital x

I did and I had 2 hour journey xx

U have to stay within 30mins of the hosp… x

im 2 hrs aswell i was planning on staying there for a few hrs then taking a slow drive home were u ok blondie ?

i have never been told i have to stay 30 mins away from the hosp :S does this mean any hospital or the hospital u had ba at? eg highgate? i really dont want to stay in a hotel afterwards i just wanna go home that was the whole point of me having a day case. i live like 30 seconds away from a hospital in south london so i can go there if any complications x

i went home too! was a 2 hour journey but wanted my bed and glad i did was much better to be at home where i could have toast and tea whenever i wanted xx

if you dont stay 30 min from the hospital and something happens in the first 24 hours and you have to go to your local hospital your aftercare is void due to not following the guidlines, they ask you to stay because the first 24 hours are the most crucial to your healing and its when your most likely to get a haematoma, even though only 1% of patients get them xx

im well jel girls i live in cornwall so i have to def stay in london the night, i was going to go to my local private hospital but didnt like the surgoen or hospital, so i chose mya, which i am really pleased with so far xx

I was fine, but u can feel every bump in the road lol xx

i wanted 2 come home to my own be aswell, i was gona pad the back of the car with pillows etc’, ill c what time i have my op if its very eirly it will be better bu if its late ill prob stay there..i live in newport

who told you that nikki? no one has said any such thing to me xx

when i had mine done, i wanted to stay with my uncle who is a head nurse in a private hospital in london he lived around 1.15 min from highgate, i mentioned he would be able to deal with me if i had any complications and my nurse told me, he couldnt do anything,coz basically he couldnt do anything coz it goes against the guidelines if you have a problem in the first 24 hours you HAVE to go back to the hospital that done your surgery xx

so if i go home and something goes wrong mya will wash their hands of me and not help me at all? :S wtf not happy about that or not being told, if they dont tell me and something goes wrong an they dont help me ill sue em lol xx

no they wont wash they’re hands of you, but it will go against you for not following thier instructions, as i said its just what i was told, when i queried it coz i wanted to go home too xx

oh ok, ill see what they say in 6 days lol thanks nikki xx

they will prob say u have to stay there. ill prob b cummin home i got kids at home and i rather b in pain at home an b comfy than im a hotel. ahh i duno lol

if i have to il pretend im staying at a hotel an if anything happens ill get my mum to drive me up to highgate like a nut case lol they’ll never know! the chances of anything happening is so slight so im sure we’ll be fine sinead lol x

I went home, I was told you had to be with in 1 hour of the hospital and I live 50 minutes away

im sure we will

i live a bit further than u, i will stay there for a few hrs its not like ill go home as soon as i have the surgery.. an loads of ppl have gone home after. will c what they say.. ah flicky bet ur mega excited, i wanna see pic mind u got ur bag n all packd?

My nurse told me they like the drive home to be no more than an hour I’m 45 mins away from parkhill n I’m going back home xx

I got told the same as Nikki, you have to be within 30 minutes of the hospital. I only got told when I asked though because I wanted to go home too xx

Was it Jenny that told you bethy, cause it wad Jenny who did my pre op n she told me an hour lol xx

I’m a re augmentation case so Im an overnight case. Dippy I know, but I never thought to ask, does that mean that I have surgery during the day and then stay overnight so I can go gone the next morning ? They said I have to have a relative drive me home or pay £250 and be driven home by a mya driver? So why can’t we take a train home. I’m booked in at fitzroy on 1 June and I live around 4 hours drive away. Difficult for my hubby to drive me home as means hed have to look after our 3 little ones overnight in London in a hotel and then drive us all home, whichd mean I’d have to sit upright all the way ome. Has anyone taken the train home for a long journey?

Tamtam1, I was advised not to use public transport for the journey home – you should ask your nurse though.

Beckie, I asked Julie my PC about going home xx

Im a three hour drive away staying in a hotel 5mins from the hospital im not riskin anything goin wrong after wrkin so hard to save all that money I would be so angry with myself if something went wrong n for one night away from home? Wud much rather stick to the rules for the first time in my life so for 6 whole weeks after my op im goin tob the most boring person alive if I was a.boob surgeon n someone came bk that hadnt followed the guidelines n id spent time trying to give them perfect boobs to make them happier I would be so pissed off!! The guidlines r ther for ur safety not thers my friend went private for a stomache staple went home n ended up in r crappy local hospital in a coma surgery is a big thing for ur body to go thru he was in that coma 2months he couldnt b treated when he first got ther because doctors had to wait for his notes from the private hospital wer as if hed been close to the private hospital his notes wud have been on hand n he might not of ended up in that coma. We all want to get bk to normal asap but is it worth it for.a.day away from home? Xx

I was told 30 mins away from hosp for the first night and i too am staying a couple of mins away in a hotel, I only live just over an hour from the hosp but like you danielliiee am not going to risk it, i am not fussed about being away from home for one night xx

Just see what your nurse advises Hun, everybody copes different with different things xx

Ahh I see bethy. Jenny told me lol, strange how people say different things xx

Girls I’ve just spoken to my PC and she said it’s recommended that u stay close by but nothing will ever be void so no need to worry now!! Its just a reccomendation you don’t have to do it. I’ll be going home as soon as they say I’m free to go xx
