I stayed for two nights. I'm glad I did. The first full day, I was really out of it. And the dr has to make sure you can tolerate liquids before you go home. Plus, I have three young kids at home.

Good Luck!

I stayed 3 nights, I had some trouble keeping fluids in so I was there the max my insurance allowed. My friend told me his sister went in on a Mon. and was out Tuesday evening. So it will depend on how you are after surgery.

But you do have to hold in your liquids before they will release you.

My stay was fine. The first night they did wake you up every two hours for vitals.

The first day I was out of it from the meds. Didn't get up an around until after 8 or 9. I did walk alot. I may have been able to go home the next day but my BP was a bit too high. Once they got me the correct dosage of BP meds things went to normal and I was able to leave.

2 nights....don't be in a rush to go home :) It was supposed to be 1 but I couldn't keep anything down first 24 hours....so they kept me an extra night. It's nice to feel good when you go home :) Nurses and staff were great....you just press the button and they come :)

One night and most of the next day. Ice chips only the first day, and added Water the second day. Couldn't wait to get home to my own bed and no squeezy leg things!

      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.
