Hospital stay- how many days hospital stay
Posted , 5 users are following.
My insurance company Is denying my overnight stay for my myomectomy. According to them I should have been released the same day. Has anyone had a myomectomy vertical abdominal incision and went home the same day? How many days do women usually spend in the hospital?

Oh my gosh. I would never expect you to come out the same day!
I had a hysterectomy with horizontal bikini incision and was told 2 nights and that's exactly what I had. I would expect the same for horizontal myomectomy too. It's major surgery!

They certainly appear to be from what you're saying! I had a catheter in overnight until the next morn and was on string pain relief
Good luck and thank you.

It depends on the type of procedure your having if its robotic it's the same day if its a open mymomectomy where they cut into your stomach which is the one i had 10 days ago your going to need at least 2 to 3 days after surgery so try can observe you just to make sure your OK cause you anything can go wrong right after

Vertical incision - 2-3 nights. I had my my open myomectomy with a vertical incision on a Wednesday and was discharged Satuday morning. I can't see how it's an overnight stay, I was still on the morphine drip the next morning.

I was on the morphine drip as well. Hope you feel better soon. I'm 2 weeks post op and moving much better than I was 14 days ago.

As you will see from the responses we were all in at least 3 days. If you have to get a letter from your Doctor and show ur discharge letter.
Shaking my head.
I am 13 months post op now and still healing but very thankful for how much improved my symptoms are.
All the best with your recovery.

Thanks! I wanted to be sure I wasn't the only one who thought the same way. My Doctor will need to explain this to them. Wow 13 months... you are still healing? How long does it take? What symptoms are you still experiencing?
