That was roughly 25 years ago, too, so I imagine it'll be even safer now. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-has-a-surgery-date-finally-plus-a-question#post-145314 Wed, 02 May 2012 19:26:35 +0000 heffalump 145314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck to your lo! Hope everything is ok and he gets better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-has-a-surgery-date-finally-plus-a-question#post-145301 Wed, 02 May 2012 19:13:17 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 145301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: That's exactly what my son has! Only in the one eye though. </p> <p>I hope he doesn't have to stay overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-has-a-surgery-date-finally-plus-a-question#post-145230 Wed, 02 May 2012 18:17:04 +0000 banana 145230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend of ours had a son who had to have tear duct surgery. His eyes were constantly watery and he would rub it constantly. The doc said he had a blocked tear duct that required minor surgery. He didn't have to stay overnight! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-has-a-surgery-date-finally-plus-a-question#post-145108 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:45:29 +0000 pelikila 145108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had ear tube placement at 8 months under general anesthesia but it was an outpatient procedure so we were in and out in about 1 hour, no overnight stay. I know they aren't the same kind of surgeries but hopefully that helps. I hope the surgery goes well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-has-a-surgery-date-finally-plus-a-question#post-145102 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:39:50 +0000 Dr. Pepper 145102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not an MD but am a pharmacist who works in the OR's at my hospital. We have many people, kids and adults, who go under general anesthesia and go home the same day. This is, of course, at the discretion of the doctor. To get a good idea of what your son's surgeon usually does, you could call the nurses at his office and ask if his patients usually stay overnight or get discharged the same day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-has-a-surgery-date-finally-plus-a-question#post-144861 Wed, 02 May 2012 12:07:49 +0000 Sha 144861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! My son had surgery under general at 16 months and didn't have to stay overnight, but it was a different type of surgery. It was stressful while he was in there and he was very upset afterward, but recovered so quickly. By the time we were on our way home later that day he was his happy self. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-has-a-surgery-date-finally-plus-a-question#post-144837 Wed, 02 May 2012 11:58:57 +0000 GreenThumb 144837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No info, but I wanted to wish you all the best! I'm sure he will do great - children bounce back so quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-has-a-surgery-date-finally-plus-a-question#post-144830 Wed, 02 May 2012 11:55:57 +0000 chopsuey 144830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope the surgery goes well!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-has-a-surgery-date-finally-plus-a-question#post-144744 Wed, 02 May 2012 10:58:02 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 144744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't talk about this much, but my baby boy (14.5 months old) has to have surgery on his left eye. He has had a blocked tear duct since birth.</p> <p>Today the specialist's office called me with a cancellation date for his surgery. He's going in next Friday. All of a sudden I am super anxious. Before today it was far away and I had an idea of when we were going in, but now it's so real. </p> <p>They are putting him under general... Dr bees, will he have to stay overnight in the hospital? It's not day surgery, but at the main OR. </p>
