1 day or 2 day stay, does it matter?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I was approved for a 1 day stay and i'm wondering if i'll be well enough to leave after a day. What was your hospital stay? How did you feel a day after surgery?

How did you feel a day after surgery?

startingoveretagain

the one thing sleevers have in common, is that we're all different!!! :o

many of us have no recuperation problems, but it still might take a week or so before they feel back to their normal self

people have WLS on thursday for example, back to work on monday or tuesday

others might have a little pain, very tired, some naustious :wacko:

taking a little longer to heal

it comes down to the hand you were dealt ;)

good luck with surgery :)

speedy recovery

I was in 1 night and ready to go the next day. I didn't feel GREAT, but sleeping in my own bed was better than someone bugging you every 2-3 hours all night long.

I was in overnight. Longest night ever..way to noisy for me to sleep. Once I got home I was fine. Back to work on post op day 10 with no problems!

I think most people have a one night stay, but there are some people who have a longer stay. I don't feel that I would have gotten any benefit from more than one night.

Ha, this will probably be me. I love sleeping in my own bed. Other than hotels, i hate sleeping away from home.

I was in for 2 nights, but it was considered a 1 day stay according to my insurance, I was admitted for less than 48 hours. I was ready to go home after the 1st night, definitely wanted my own bed.

As proudgrammy said, it is truly individual. I've had 2 c-sections and a vertical hysterectomy, the sleeve surgery was a walk in the park for me!

I was in for three nights :( I had bad nausea and was unable to keep down even a tablespoon of Water. I was sleeved Weds, and unfortunately I vomited (all day Thurs) and Friday morning so they kept me until Saturday to make sure I could keep liquids down.

I was under the impression I would be in for 1 day. Turns out I was in for 2 nights. My nurses kept me under some good meds, so I think My docs like to keep you for 2 days. Also, my docs put us in Step down ICU for the admssion time, so we were wll watched and taken care of. No complaints about my hospital stay!

I stayed two days the insurance approve one but if you need an extra day they work with the hospital, now after two I couldn't take it I was ready to go home. Like they say your home is much more peaceful then someone coming in every 2 hours or so. My sister want me to come to her house because it's just me at home and I declined I would rather be in my own bed in my own house... Good luck you will be fine speedy recovery to you

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
