Did anyone else have to stay in a hotel after there surgery as it was too far to travel home. I have got high gate hospital and I think it’s about 1hr 30 mins from my home. So my pc said I have to stay in a hotel. Why is this. Is it cause of any complications and you will be nearby. I would really want to get home though.
I am around 2 and a half hours from my op hospital, my pc never recommended it. Though I can see why it would be better 🙂 x
I didn’t stay in a hotel but they have some nice ones around Highgate if you do stay 🙂 xx
I didn’t stay in a hotel either just drove straight home from the Highgate to Bristol just made sure we stopped more than we would usually and drank plenty of water to keep hydrated although I pretty slept for a big chunk of the journey xoxo
I hope not, Im the same as you and live 1hour 30 mins away. I wasn’t told I would have to during my consultation xx
Thank you for reply girls. That’s strange why no other pc has said it. I would prefer to go straight home as I have a 12 yr old daughter and a little dog that need looking after 🙂 plus its more money to pay out. Wonder if I can get away with just going straight home 😉 xx
Hey
My pc did tell me its better to stay close by just incase and go home in the following morning! Staying with the hospital is very expensive but i found a hotel close my hospital which is 5 mins away (driotwich hosp) and it only cost me £55
Better to be safe then sorry! xxx
Hello Charlotte yeah it is better being safe then sorry. Just hard to find someone to look after my daughter and dog. I am sure it will be fine. Xx
Yeh thats understandable, good luck for your day whenever it is 🙂 x
The nurse on my pre op said that I had to be within an hour of the hospital for the first night in case there were any complications, so I am booking a hotel near the hospital. Not Ideal, I wanna go home, but I would rather do what they advise. I think it is to do with getting over the general anastetic. X
Hey, It says to stay about an hour away in your MYA pack, I stayed at the Whetstone Travel Lodge which is about 15 mins from Highgate, it was really good and I slept really well. I have 3 cats at home and got my friend to feed them. Good Luck 🙂 x
