Hospital stay

[Tssiemer1 549]

Uuuugh I hate staying the hospital. I've been there for 8 days in a row before so this is considerably less. I just hate it so much. Just slice me open, sew me up and send me home to my nice warm comfy bed with my heating blanket and no one to bother me.

My pain level seems to high anybody else experiencing this??

Everybody feels pain differently. Were you given post-surgical pain meds to have at home? (If you're at home.) Are you taking them? How's your support system? How is your sleep? Stressors can make you feel pain more.

I came in late late PM, had the surgery early AM. But here before they let you out they have to do a leak test. I got a fever. They didn't let me leave. They suspected a whole in my stomach but they couldn't find it (for days!) I got a bad infection and they had to open me up twice more. So.. what was suppose to be a max 48hrs turned into 21days! Complications DO happen and they suck!

My hospital stay was 2 days. I'm stunned to see some members went home the same day. It's important to have your vitals checked and pain managed

I was there a little over 24 hrs! I arrived at 7:00 to register and I was discharged the next day about 1:30pm!

I'm one of the ones who went home the same day. I realize that everyone's experience is different, but I can't imagine why I would have needed to stay any longer. After I woke up in the recovery room, I got up and walked to my room. I never even got into bed, just sat up and walked around all day. My vitals were all fine and I didn't really have much pain. The only reason I took the pain meds at all was because the doctor said I should just to make sure that I didn't start hurting.

My stay was 4 nights because I couldn't sip anything. Felt very nauseas and nothing would help my nausea.

I was out in 24. I had hardly any pain and freaked them out by jumping off the gurney to walk around after surgery. A lady I was in with had a conversion from lap band to sleeve. She had to stay longer.

I was in two nights but only 36 hours evening op and discharged morning of second day. I need it couldn't imagine going home sooner the anathesisa hits me hard and pain bad dizzy etc. But when I went home i felt ready and more secure etc.

My dr said I was okay to go The day after. I stayed an additional day since it was easier to get out of bed, have help, etc.

Had my surgery at 2 pm and was released at 10:30 pm I luckily did not have any complications, but I think that was way to soon
