Teachamy 1,042 Posted January 14, 2014 The sleeve is relatively new to my bariatric center, so they keep patients for 2 nights. I was there 3 due to some cardiac "fun". Was soo happy to go home! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted January 14, 2014 Surgery was 12/23/2013 at 7:30 a.m. Could have gone home next evening (Christmas Eve) but doctor decided one more night wouldn't hurt since I had not been up and around much. So, I went home Christmas day. My insurance had approved for five nights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McButterpants 2,846 Posted January 14, 2014 Mine was done on outpatient basis - I was in admitting at 6:00 am and back at the condo by noon the same day (I've actually had dental work done where I was away from home longer!) I slept for 3 hours when we got there, then got up and walked every hour, including thru the night...just pacing thru the condo. My surgery was on a Thursday and I was in pretty good shape by Monday. I worked 1/2 days the following week - I telecommute, but was able to sit at my desk and work with no issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetjam69 20 Posted January 14, 2014 Me, 2 nights....but the lady next to me only 1 night....same surgery, we got sleeved. Honestly, I didn't want to go home in one night. The first two days were HELL for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
