how long was your hospital stay?



Recommended Posts

Many of us didn't stay at all. Some people stay overnight, depending on things like insurance requirements or medical conditions.

I was at the surgery center at noon, home in my own bed by 6:30 that night.

My insurance required me to stay over night. I was happy to though. I have a 2 year old and it is hard being at home with him and trying to take it easy. He just does not understand when mommy isnt feeling good. Arent moms supposed to never get sick or down?

I had my surgery at 9:00 a.m. thinking I would be home by 3:00, I had to stay in the hospital for three days. I had to go back into surgery the next day, there was a piece of fat blocking the band.

I had my band done in Dallas. The package deal I did included a night before room and night of surgery room. They did discharge me after my procedure on that Friday but I got to stay that night as a guest. I did that for the just incase there was any problem. I am glad that I did that. I think that the 4.5 car ride home would have been a little harder.

Mine was an overnight visit but now my surgeon does them in outpatient. Recovery time for me was 6 days before I went back to work.

Insurance requires overnight......was there at 5:45, surgery was at 7:45, saw the clock in the recovery room at 8:50, in room at 9:00. Barium swallow next morning at 9:00 and then home! I felt good enough to go home at 9:00 right after my surgery but it was nice to stay and sleep off the anesthetic....3 kids at home would of made that hard!

I checked in on a Tuesday morning and went back to my hotel around 11 on Wednesday morning. I had my surgery at Hospital San Jose in Monterrey Mexico with Dr. Rumbaut. They wanted to make sure that I was able to keep liquids down the next day and that I responded well to the band.

I am glad I stayed because even though my recovery was easy there was another lady that had surgery the same day that had a horrible time. She had some fever, pain and vomiting. They kept her an extra day.

      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?

      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.
