Average hospital stay?

[brandyrn73 13]

I'm being sleeved at the end of the month...my surgeon says I'll be in the hospital for 3 days. I'm just wondering if that's average?

Mine said they hold the room for 2 nights but some go home after 1 night.

Will let you know in a few days:)

I had surgery on Tuesday at 9AM and went home Thursday around 9AM as expected. If no complications I was told 2 nights and that's what it was.

Since I live about 90 miles from hospital I really hope it is 2 nights, just in case. Insurance approved 2 if needed. I get sleeved Thursday and I'm floating on air. So So excited to begin this leg of the journey. Good luck all you sleevers coming up.

I was told to expect two nights but I was there only one. I had a very easy post op period. I slept for about 3 hours after I got back to my room. The nurse came in and asked me if I wanted to try and pee and walk. I didn't get back in the bed till about 9 that night when I went to sleep. I was much more comfortable sitting in the comfy chair and it was SO much easier to get up from that to walk. I did that every hour. That helped a great deal. I was so very lucky in that I had no nausea so I was able to sip and munch on ice chips and keep it down.

Good luck!

When they went to do my barium swallow on post op day 1 I had so much swelling nothing would go past my esophagus so i ended up being there an extra day. It was a total of 3 nights. I was sleeved on a Monday and was discharged on Thursday.

I was there 3 nights because I have a pacemaker and my cardiologist wanted me there an extra night but 2 days is usually normal
