How long to recover from stomach surgery?
Answer Hi, I had a tummy tuck about two years ago and it was day surgery, so I was released about 2 hours after the surgery. I had consulted with many surgeons about length of stay and it was pretty much borderline (a recovery period for about 2 to 4 HOURS) and then released. I do know that if your surgery is performed at a hospital they may require/allow you to stay for 2 TO 4 days. I am a plastic surgeon in Utah (Dr. York Yates). With improved technique and technology, this is almost always an oupatient procedure today. My patients stay as long as they need/ feel like it but usually this is just 15-45 minutes. I generally do not use general anesthesia even for a full abdominoplasty which helps.

How long does it take to heal from appendix surgery?
It depends on what type of surgery they are going to use to remove the appendix. If they do it via laproscopic surgery, her recovery time will be much quicker than actually having to cut her open and remove it. Recovery time for a laproscopic surgery is between 2-3 weeks, it also depends on how your mother comes out of surgery (i.e. any infections, complications). She should not be in the hospital for more than 2-3 days as long as the surgery goes well. For more information go to : http://www.doctor-dubai.com/dr_info_display.asp?dr_id=1176 Good luck.
