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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
