I just had my second hip replaced. This one was done outpatient, which worried me. However, I woke up the next morning, got washed, dressed, Fixed & ate breakfast, took the garbage to the curb. All before physical therapist showed up. She did her work out, including walking up & down a flight of stairs to the 2nd floor. I was a little sore that afternoon, but compared to the pain I was in prior to surgery, it was not bad at all.

I hear that outpatient is more common. My doctor wants an overnight stay. Have not questioned that as being an option. Since it is my first hip replacement maybe that is OK as I go through the process.
