Been in many a hospital a lot of times for my husband. Does this count?
Only if you stayed overnight with him.

Outpatient or inpatient?

Outpatient- 4x - at 17 when I had my wisdom teeth pulled, twice about 10 years ago for uterine polypectomies, and 2 years ago for breast lumpectomy.

Inpatient - twice - when I gave birth to my son 23 years ago, and 10 months ago for a hysterectomy.

Three times if we're talking about overnight stays. First time for a concussion and a huge gash in my forehead at 12. The second time for a severe lung infection at 30. The third time was pancreatitis at 36. Quite a few other trips for broken bones and flu that wouldn't go away, and a bee sting when I was 4 or 5.

You're right, the appendix probably was inpatient. It was roughly 45 years ago so I've forgotten the details.

These days they tend to do many routine abdominal surgeries ( such as appendectomies, hernia repair, gall bladder removal) laparoscopically, and on an outpatient basis. Unless there are complications or the patient is at high risk for complication, then they may do the surgery in the hospital and keep the patient overnight or for as long as needed.

Not like a long time ago. I had my appendix removed when I was 11 ( many eons ago, I'm 72 now), they kept me for a week.

Inpatient has been 6 times: first time was at 11 months for cleft lip surgery; last time was at age 68 for heart attack. Mixed bag of reasons in-between like brain surgery, hysterectomy, abscess surgery, etc.

Sixteen times for inpatient stays:

Ages 0-10: Birth, adenoidectomy.

Ages 11-20: childbirth, hyperemesis gravidarium, childbirth.

Ages 21-30: childbirth, childbirth, PROM for 6 weeks inpatient then c-sec delivery of twins, childbirth, childbirth, 2nd trimester miscarriage.

Ages 31-40: childbirth twins, childbirth w/TL.

Ages 41-50: D&C, oophrectomy & myomectomy, Reversal TL.

I'd have rather had another 10 childbirths before age 50 than to have had to endure how bad that Tubal Ligation messed me up & the surgeries that followed.
