As I stated in an earlier post, I was discharged within 48 hours. He must be doing well for them to consider this. I had the same problem with urine....you are so dehydrated with the preoperative regime and surgery, but after drinking alot of liquid, my levels became normal. Also, they would not let me go home until I had a bowel movement, which I did 30 hours after surgery. My stomach was very swollen from the surgery because they blow you up with gas. It took 2 weeks to start going down to normal.
Hope this helps
