Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Depends on your surgeon's schedule. My surgeon does his surgery on Tuesdays and tooth extractions on Fridays (leaving Mon, Wed, and Thurs for consultations).

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Mine was a Tuesday. I think it has something to do with the amount of time you have to stay in hospital. I had upper/lower/genio, and that's normally a 2 night stay. Lower only, 1 night only. My surgeon probably doesn't schedule his double jaw surgeries later in the week. That's my impression anyway. The optimal time for surgery was, I thought, first thing in the morning. They told me I couldn't eat after midnight, and I think I would have had trouble making it to a 12:30 pm surgery without anything in my system. Then again, your surgeon might not be warmed up that early in the morning : ) > lol is it just me or do most people get their surgery on a > wednesday? I have just noticed that a lot...

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 My guy does his on Tuesday morning, at least at the hospital where I had mine. I think the virtue of doing 'em the first to middle of the week is that patients, even if they have complications, are out by the weekend. But I could be wrong.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 My doc only does surgeries on Wednesdays. Unfortunately for him, I ended up staying 3 nights, so he had to come in on Saturday to check me out. I guess he could have told me to leave on Friday, but he gave me the option of staying another night and that's what I chose.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Mine was ambulatory also. Although I was in recovery for about 4 hours - I was in a lot of pain and my Surgeon allowed the nursing staff to accommodate my request for more IV pain medicine. I must say, I was glad to sleep in my own bed that night. Of course, I had my Mom staying with me ... so that made a big difference too.
