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?

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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
