Hospital stay
With less than a week away from my surgery in Guelph w/ Dr. Pereira-Hong, I was wondering how long was your stay in the hospital? I realize the general rule is 2-3 days, but I just wanted to confirm with others who have gone through it.
P.s. excited and nervous
Thanks Kari

My surgery was first thing on a Tuesday morning. I was in for 2 nights. Dr. Pereira-Hong released me around 1pm on Thursday. I was ready to go home for sure, but all the nurses and staff were super. I had a great experience in Guelph...except for my squeaky bed. Hope you don't get that one! 
Referral: Nov 12 Sleep Study: Feb 13 Orientation: Feb 13 1st appt NSWD: May 13 2nd appt NSWD July 13 2nd Sleep Study: Dec 13 Post Op Nut: April 14 Meet Dr. Pereira-Hong: May 14 PATTS: July 8 14 Surgery: July 22 14
I had Dr Pereira-Hong and she released me the next day at about 1pm. I wasn't having any adverse reactions to the anesthetic, no pain and I was up walking, drinking and peeing. i was happy to not stay a second night but I guess it all depends on the individual and how ones body reacts to the surgery.
Good Luck!!!
