should i stay overnight or go home the same day??

Hey girls is there any benefits to staying overnight after surgery? Is there anyone who didnt stay overnight but wishes they had? For me theres a difference of £450 in the cost of going home the same day and staying overnight which is quite alot of money and im not sure if i can justify that money as its cheaper to stay in a hotel up the road xx

I am going as a day case. There’s no need to pay to stay overnight as if you are a day case and need to stay, they will keep you in free of charge. Also, there are a few hotels nearby that are so much cheaper, if you want to stay close to the hospital xx

Hi hun

I was only a day case and I stayed in the Raglan Hotel which was about 8 mins from the hospital. Personally I dont see what extra benifits you get by paying £450 for the overnight stay except that you dont need to get out of bed. After the op I felt vey sleepy and was sick a little but that was due to the anesthetic (I think if I stayed in bed and not got up and got changed I wouldnt have been) xx

Thanks girls thats great, i live so far from London and was a little worried travelling back home but i think i will stay at a hotel for a fraction of the cost. Im looking at the Raglan now thanks naomi xx

No probs good luck with the op xx

hey, i live in exeter but chose to do day case and stayed at holiday in Golders Green last night. very polite and comfurtable. breakfast included xx

Im a day case too and staying in Raglan Hotel (op on tue) Was it nice naomi?

Paid for it with tesco so in a way doesnt feel like ive paid for it heehee.

I also got told if you are a day case and need to stay in for whatever reason u can for free, they wont make you pay for it. x

Hey Gnats

The hotel was fine, the bedroom was clean (the shower looked amazing…was gutted I couldnt try it) it done the job and it was very close to the hospital…the only downfall was there was a load of speed bumps on route which wasnt much fun

Wish Tesco paid for mine I checked in at 11 in the night and checked out 630..

Good luck for Tues! xx

Thanks 4 that Naomi we going up monday as live in Devon so might have to try the shower. Speed bumps -great xx

I stayed overnight and pleased I did, although I had a terrible night of sleep due to the nurse alarm buzzers I felt safe knowing that if I needed anyone then they were there.

I believe if you’re travelling you need to stay within 30 minutes of the hospital overnight so bear this in mind x
