Dear @sperio, I would say so. I was 63 and healthy except for the cancer. RC was done robotically along with a radical hysterectomy. (6 small incisions versus open surgery) . I have a urostomy pouch. I felt great after the surgery and was ready to go home in 4 days. I was able to walk the next day and in fact overexerted a bit while in the hospital . My doctor said I needed to walk as much as I did but to pace myself throughout the day😊. I had an easy recovery at home. Everything worked well and I was just more tired than usual. The best part was finally being able to sleep without interruption again. Before the RC I had terrible bladder spasms and was waking up every hour for the bathroom.

@sperio Hi, yes 5 days or more. They wanted to send my husband home early. I looked at my husband’s feet and one was blown up like a balloon. I insisted a medical doctor look at him. He had blood clots in his knee and one in his lung. He stayed a couple days more. I noticed that the surgeons ( and apparently nurses) don’t assess the patient holistically, they don’t look at the entire body and they don’t sign on medical doctors initially. They tried to keep only the surgeon and his residents on our case. Medical doctors on the case can make a difference on checking you out. This was at renown Northwestern Hospital in Chicago.
