Anyone go home day of surgery?



Recommended Posts

I am getting sleeved tomorrow morning, supposed to stay 1-2 nights- depends on how well I can tolerate fluids. Anyone go home same day? I really don't want to stay at all. I work at a hospital - really don't want to sleep there.

I had surgery at 3 pm Friday and went home 9am Saturday. So even though it was less than 24 hours it was overnight. I never actually slept though. Just watched TV, Facetimed with friends, emailed, texted and walked the halls. I can never sleep after anesthesia.

I had no pain or nausea and was sipping fluids. After being discharged I walked 2 miles, went shopping, took a nap, then watched a movie before going out to dinner with my sister. I sipped chicken broth and watched her eat enchiladas and sip her margarita.

I'll be having mine tomorrow also and I'll be going home same day. It's an outpatient surgery for me.

If, you have sleeve, you need to do UGI, after that is up to the doctor!

I ended up staying the night thank goodness. Difficulty in urinating which is the norm for me and anesthesia but worst of all the gas pains. I walked, I sipped, I got drugs, and went home the next day in the evening. Still battling gas at day 5 but each day gets better. Able to drink and get Protein in for most part.

There is no way I would have been well enough to go home. I was still in a cycle of vomiting, sleeping, moaning 24hrs after.

I stayed for 3 nights and the cab ride home was almost unbearable. I also had my gallbladder removed when I was sleeved.

Others I shared a room with were up and about 24hrs later.

I had my sleeve 3/30 at an outpatient surgery center and went home the same day with no issues. Hope you are doing well!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
