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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
