I stayed two nights. Normal stay is one night, but my surgery was late in the day, finished at 5pm, so they kept me the extra night just to be sure. I went home at noon after the 2nd night.

I've gotten sleeved on the 6/12 and plans were I would go home as of Friday' date=' but they are keeping me till tomorrow- hopefully I can go home tomorrow.. I've been having pain mostly where my drain is. And I had a bad cause of nausea I'm still only on 60mL of Clear Liquids :(

I'm wandering how many of you have had such elongated stays? My nurses won't say much as far as what is normal, just that it is different from person to person.[/quote']

I was sleeved on the 12 (wednesday) as well....I was home Thursday night

How did your swallow test go?? That maybe why they kept you

I was sleeved around 5pm on Friday 5/24 and left the hospital by 5pm on Saturday 5/25. No complications or pain. Never did take any pain medication in the hospital or at home and did take nausea medication right before I left to go home just in case for the car ride....

I was sleeved may 21 in Sweden. I stayed 2 nights at the clinic. Day one post op I felt discomfort but no pain. I have had nothing but smooth sailing this past month. I have more energy, my mood is much better as I know I am on a great journey to health and wellbeing. I horsebackride almost everyday and I am enjoying life. i am so happy I found this surgery. Here in Sweden only gastric bypass is done by hospitals so I went to a private clinic and paid out of pocket. Best money ever spent. I have lost 15 lbs which is more than I have ever lost in that short period of time before.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
