Who went home the same day?



Recommended Posts

I spent the night in the hospital. I went home late in the afternoon on the second day. I am glad that I spent the night in the hospital because I was wiped out. I still felt bad on the 1 hour trip home.

I spent the night but I knew in advance I would. The reason is because I have sleep apnea. At the clinic I went to...they keep you overnight if you have sleep apnea. I didn't WANT to stay overnight but had no choice...so I brought my CPAP and stayed the night. Because of that, I was the last surgery scheduled for the day (2:30). Everyone else I know went home the same day.

I had surgery at 7:30 a.m. The anesthesia made me a little nauseous after I woke up so I had to stay two extra hours. Still though, I left the hospital at 4:30 and went home and slept like a baby. This was on Wednesday, had no pain, and was back at work on Monday. It went slick as a whistle!! :-)

I had my surgery at 7:30 a.m. and went home the next day at 10:00 a.m. I believe my surgeon keeps everyone overnight. I personally am all for that. I was wiped out, hurting and all I wanted to do was sleep. Although, they did have me up and walking within 30 minutes of waking up from surgery. I was glad I was kept overnight, because I had problems with my blood pressure during the night. Had I been at home, it would not have been caught and managed, and who knows what might have happened.

I went home the same day. I was at the hospital at 6:00 a.m. and home by 6 that night. I was happy to be in my own bed that night!

I had my surgery last September at my doctor's surgery center at 7:30 am and was on my way home by 10:30 am on the same day. I had no probles what-so-ever (and I was one month shy of turning 57 years old!) Additionally, I have had sleep apnea and have used a C-pap for many, many years but experienced no problems during or after the surgery. I went back to work full-time 5 days after surgery and did great. For me, the whole process was a breeze!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
