    How Long Was Your Hospital Stay?

    I had to stay overnight. I was told that from the begininng. which was fine because like Cynesra I live 3 hours from my doctor. I did have to go to the ER where i had my surgery 3 days later due to the fact i couldnt keep anything down, not even water. they removed the "primer" fluid from my band and im alright now. then again they wanted me to stay due to the fact i was dehydrated, but i didnt i figured i could drink and keep it down id be fine and I am. Good luck to you both!

    I came home lastnight, against medical advice. They removed 2 cc's of fuild from my band. I felt better instantly. They wanted me to stay because I was dehydrated. I figured now that I could drink I didnt need to stay with an iv.
