How long was your hospital stay? I have a 1 1/2 year old and a 7 year old I hate being away from them for too long :( I hope it's not more than 2 days.

Surgery on Wednesday. Discharged on Thursday. I'm finding recovery to be a little difficult. You will probably need help with your kids.

I stayed two days but one day would have been enough for me.. I was told strictly NO lifting and NO bending, NO twisting, NO stretching and reaching for the first week.. and after that no lifting anything over 15 pounds until 6 weeks.

I stayed 2 nights and I was glad I did. I was happy to have the IV pain meds and the extra care. I had my sister at home to help me for the first two days at home and I was grateful. I would recommend that you have help with your little ones.

I stayed 2 nights also. I agree, 1 would've been enough.

My surgery was Feb 28th at 7am (I was his first one) & next morning they did a swallow study to check for a leak - after my results came back at around 2-3 that day I was discharged to home.

I was sleeved on a Monday at 7am and released the next day about 2pm. You will have to rest when you get home and concentrate on getting your fluids in. Some help will really be needed with your little ones.

      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.
