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!

      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.
