How Long Was Your Stay In The Hospital?



Recommended Posts

How long were you in the hospital? I know everyone is different but looking for an average. I have heard everything from one night to five days. Plus, my insurance has only approved one night so that makes me nervous.

I thought I saw a thread on this a while back but I can't find anything. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks

Surgery Wednesday morning and discharged Saturday morning. The doc said I could stay the last night because he saw how young my kids were when they visited and he said I could use one last night of peace! Haha!

Had surgery on a Tuesday and was supposed to go home Thursday but had to stay until Friday cause my white blood cells were up and they wanted to be safe. My insurance only approved the first day too but they ended up approving the entire stay. The lady I talked to said they always approve the first day and then approve more based on medical need so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your doc wouldn't keep u there if he didn't feel like you needed to be there.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
