since 2005 I have had several admissions to hospital, nothing serious, Mystery illness that was literally melting me away(never diagnosed), Radical Prostectomy, and a broken shoulder/collar bone, bl**dy Golf driver wiped me off my bike 😱
The latter resulted in a couple of "day surgery" visits(in addition to major ops) which were NOT
Oh!! diabetic..you have to stay on a ward overnight so we can monitor you
I still have the plates and screws in, as surgeon said I had been through enough ops over the last couple of years. I AGREED 😎
But if I found they were causing me bother/pain/grief, then let him know and he would willingly `whip` them out, by which I assume he means `day surgery`. Shoulder now painful more than I`d like......
In my case the overnight has meant at least 2 nights for, to me, no good reason
Question.... Have any of you fellow diabetics had the same `day surgery` experience, or just been in and out
I am "only" T2 by the way 😎
Sorry (not 🙄) about the ramble. as my englich teecha used ter say, CUT OUT THE PADDING
 
Sorry to hear that you've got to have more surgery. I've had three lots of day surgery with general anaesthetic - two for my eyes and one for the shoulder. All three times I was home by mid to late afternoon.
 
Sorry to learn of your predicament.
Diabetes didn't seem to be a barrier to day surgery, when in November 2011, I had a pin put in my arm.
However, I have been warned that removing it will be a far more complicated affair ...
