It seems like some doctors like to keep people overnight' date=' and others would rather have them out the door as soon as they are awake.[/quote']

I don't know that it is always the doctors but the insurance companies. It seems that insurance companies only pay up to 23 hours of hospital care for what is considered an "outpatient" procedure.

Does anyone have any tips for nausea? I took the nausea pill I was prescribed but It's not going away... My stomach is all rumbly :-(

You should ask your doctor... I was given Rectal suppositories for nausea because anything by mouth was not working for me.

I was self-pay. Insurance had nothing to do with mine.

Well vomited all that back up. Now they're gonna keep me overnight. I'm so groggy still like I wanna go to sleep but can't. My chest hurts really bad, especially when I try & breathe right. But other than that I'm great! Lol!

Sounds like you might need some more pain meds. Also, I only did Water for the first 24 hours, then just Clear Liquids.< /p>

They're keeping me overnight, I threw up all the Water, and my chest hurts real bad! It's late. But other than that, I'm okay.

Slept pretty good from 10-315...got up cuz i had to pee...decided not to lie back down because the pain of standing up from the bed..was HELL!

walked up and down our hallway a few times and then sat down here in recliner..gas pain in chest and back is bad...but soreness by incisions is ok while im sitting. chair is up higher than bed so getting up from here isnt as bad as the bed.

one of the things that is almost as annoying as the pain...the damn itching around the incisions, and around the tape that holding the gauze over the port....driving me nuts.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
