How Long Was Your Hospital Stay?

[sleevemeup 41]

Hello! I am wondering how long all of you were in the hospital? I am due for 2-3 days. I want to get out of there asap!

[douchewafflebear 160]

my dr says expect 3-4

[MalyssaSue 65]

I was in there 2 nights

I had surgery on Wednesday and Stayed until Sunday. Probably could have went home Saturday but hey if they weren't kicking me out I wasn't leaving. I know too many times in the past I have gotten home and immediately wished I was back at the hospital. This is major surgery and you do need to be able to walk, sip and maybe even have a bite or two. The first day is pretty much a blur with the pain meds, and then each day is better. A lot of people come home on that third day.

6 days but I had complications.

I am so sorry to hear that. How are you now?

[lovealways 287]

5 days, but I had complications too. 2 weeks post-op now.

I'm fine now pain meds don't work on me unless they are given IV (and even then it's just mild relief) so I had a spinal block and then my bladder wouldn't wake up lol. I also had some nerve pain but it didn't last too long. I'm down 51 lbs from 11/26. I feel great, and as a total added bonus my skin is perfect again!

My Dr says plan on 2-3 since I am having band removed and RNY in same surgery. Mainly to get swelling down from 2 procedures.

Every one is different I was there from Dec 17 -28th with complications, unfortunately still dealing with them and possibly headed back there again . No surgery is set in stone Just remember go home when your ready.

Surgery was on Thursday, was able to come home Friday, but because I live 3 hours from the surgeon/hospital, Dr chose to keep me 1 extra day, just to be sure. So I was home by noon Saturday

Had surgery on a Monday got discharged that weds. Two weeks later had to go back into the hospital for 7 days due to uncontrollable vomiting (not everyone gets that). After I left that time I was great til I had a massive gall bladder attack 3 months later. Had to get my gall bladder out (common due to rapid weight loss) been amazing ever since

Just had my pre-op, and I will have to stay only 2 nights as long as there are no complications. He didn't anticipate any, but I guess you never know!
