How Many Days In The Hospital After Surgery

[Bryan_G 3]

I know that every body will be different but just curious how long everyone stayed in the hospital after the surgery?

I was discharged at Day 1. Wanted to stay until Day 2, I didn't think I was ready.

Three days and nights, seemed just right!

I had surgery first thing in the morning on March 13th and was released from the hospital on March 15th in the afternoon as soon as my drain was removed. I was sleeved in Mexico, so upon discharge from the hospital I went to the hotel and stayed there for three more days before flying home. I didn't really feel that for me the hospital stay was even necessary, I definitely would have been fine having it as an outpatient procedure as some people do. If I had the option I would MUCH rather have been discharged the same day and done ALL my recuperating at the hotel!

I had surgery monday at 730am

They releaded me yesterday by 10

Silver Cross hospital requires a two night stay which I believe was just right

I was 3 nights due to extreme nausea. Typically my dr discharges at 2 nights, I was more than ready to be discharged by the morning after my 3 night. In fact when he rounded at 7am, I got ready immediately and waited for my husband.

I had surgery on Tues Sep 24 and was discharged Thurs morning. I have to say I love my sleeve. I don't feel hungry and I don't hurt in my knees anymore. Thank you Dr. A.

I was out the next day, was supposed to get to go home at 1 but had to wait for a prescription so I had to sit there until 5 waiting on the surgeon to get out of surgery.

Thanks for all the responses, this is good information. I want to say my doctor said only a one night stay, but i guess that really all depends on how you are doing with walking,ect. so was everyone up and walking no problems after the first week?

You're up and walking in a matter of hours. Definetly the same day.

I was scheduled for a 2 night stay but they kept me for a 3rd due to not being able to get my fluids in. I was not feeling my best so I was actually happy to stay. My surgery was Friday late afternoon and I went home Monday afternoon. By that time, I was ready to go.

I stayed for 2 nights but the doctors want to make sure everything works well before discharging you. It's better to be safe than sorry
