How long was your hospital stay?



Recommended Posts

I was two days.

It really seems to vary quite a bit, depending on the surgeon.

I stayed one night, but my surgeon actually asked me if I wanted to stay or go home. I went hone because I had someone staying with my kid and didn't want to inconvenience them any longer than was necessary. I would of stayed a second night if I didn't have that situation.

Surgery at 3pm, out by 9am, shopping by 10am. Back the 3rd day to have drain removed. I had no nausea or pain and could drink (sip) just fine, so I would have been very bored actually staying in the hospital that whole time.

I spent one night and discharged around lunch time the next day.

I stayed overnight...that was all I needed and that was all I could stand!! Not because of pain, because that was very well controlled. Not because of the hospital, because the hospital and staff all were absolutely great!! It was because I had a very bad, noisy whining and complaining roommate!! Now sure what he was in for, but man did this guy complain, and he seemed to have a big issue with me using the bathroom...I think he thought it was his and not ours to share!! But anyway, I digress...most people I know and spoke to pretty much had an overnight stay and that's about it.

Ugh I stayed 3 nights. Surgery was 9:30am on a Tuesday and I went home at noon on Friday. But I also had a hiatel hernia repair that was huge and also removal of my lap band port (wasn't removed when the actual band was removed as that was an emergency situation and I was not stable). I was in a lot of pain and was so so nauseous after the sleeve, but was absolutely fine when they released me.

I spent three nights in the hospital,but that was because I had nausea and vomiting the day after and couldn't keep anything down. That put me a day behind as far as liquids. By the day I went home I was keeping Jello and broth down. So was released to go home.

I am having my surgery on monday the 15th. I am going to enjoy however long i am there even if i am in pain becaue i am a single mother and i will pretend this is a vaction. I love my daughter this is why i am doing this but it will be nice to know she is well taken care of so i can get the rest that i will need. She is so hyper from the moment she wakes till the fight with bedtime and she accidentally falls asleep. Haha

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
