When you stay over night can someone stay with you?

Usually, yea. The hospital I had my surgery at had you in a private room with a fold out couch for someone. My sister and husband both stayed. Go to the hospitals website and check out visitor patient information. It will probably tell you there.

Yes, my hospital had a daybed for someone to spend the night, private room but no one would stay with me.  I preferred it that way.

Usually, as long as you're in a private room.  If you are sharing a room, they might not want overnight visitors.  You can call the hospital and ask.

I think it all depends on the hospital. I had a private room and they let my husband stay past visiting hours but, there are no overnight guests permitted. My hospitals probably have visiting hours.

I was in a semi-private room, with no over-night visitors allowed. I don't know if it would have been different in a private room. Honestly, even if I could have, I wouldn't have wanted someone staying over. I was so tired the first day, I didn't really want to socialize with anybody. The second night, I was woken up multiple times for blood pressure tests & blood thinner injections, plus general intercom noise, so my sleep was pretty crummy. Wouldn't have wished that on anyone!

That (NOISE) was my experience. Thet sleep/chair was horrible for my son or husband that stayed so they didn't stay the third night.  I stayed 3 nights because we lived far enough away that I worried about an emergency but I wish I had gone home instead.

When I had my first surgery, I was in a shared room, so no overnight visitors allowed. I just had a revision in May, and the hospital I was in had private rooms. There was a chair that pulled out into a bed, to allow for overnight visitors. I prefer to be alone while in the hospital, but it's a great option for anyone who wants a support person close by.

Here right now (had rny yesterday) anf my hospital permits 1 overnight guest in the room. Thankful because my husband helps unplug me to help to the bathroom. Much better than nurses in a rush :)
