Most rites of passage are religious ceremonies. They not only mark the transition between an individual's life stages but they reinforce the dominant religious views and values of a culture. In other words, they reinforce the world-view. Marriage is an important rite of passage in all cultures.
After the Procedure. How long you stay in the hospital depends on the procedure. The average stay for open abdominal procedures is 5 to 8 days. You will go home sooner if you had laparoscopic surgery. The average stay for perineal surgery is 2 to 3 days.
Recovery in the Hospital. Patients spend an average of two to five days in the hospital following bariatric surgery, or longer if complications develop. Patients who undergo laparoscopic bariatric surgery usually have a shorter hospital stay. When you return to your hospital room after surgery, you will be closely monitored by your nurses. Along with periodic monitoring of your vital signs â blood pressure, pulse, temperature and respiration â your nurses will encourage and help you to perform deep breathing, coughing, leg movement exercises and to get out of bed.
