How many days were you in the hospital?



Recommended Posts

@@ReaderGirl thank you for for the detailed experience. It helps to know that 1 day is not out of the question. I admire those that did out patient! That is incredible. I hope everyone healed well and have had no complications. It always makes me feel a little less scared when I read everyone's experiences. Even the not so great ones that I've come across still pulled through and have no doubt that they would do it again. Thanks for sharing everyone!

Yes the people that did this and went home the same day. They are strong! I do admire them! But please don't be afraid, I tend to get a little worked up before things like this and try to back out , change my mind you name it! Educate yourself!! From good sources! Ask questions!

I stayed 3 nights but could have stayed 4 or 5 if I wanted.

I can't imagine being a day patient, you are all so very strong!!

My surgeon requires a 1 day stay for gastric sleeve. I tried getting him to release me the day of surgery though. lol

I stayed three nights because I asked to stay. It was very helpful for me to rest and have the nursing support. I was nauseous from pain meds and had mild reaction to zofran and toradol. However I never threw up because the meds where changed to ones that worked for me. My advice is to speak up. You HAVE to keep fluids down and they know that.

My surgery was a day surgery. I was out the same evening. I would have been out in the afternoon, but I tend to take an extended nap through the anesthesia every time I am put under for a surgery. Lol! Everything went perfectly and incredibly smooth.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
