Clarevoyant 347 Posted May 21, 2016 Hi, my surgery will likely be in July. My surgeon said I should only be in the hospital for one night but I have read elsewhere 2 nights. Just trying to see what most people experienced. How many nights did you stay in the hospital and what determined your release? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SusanB55 89 Posted May 21, 2016 Was scheduled to be one night but I had too much pain and nausea. I had a band to sleeve revision plus a hiatal hernia so that's why my doc kept me one more night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted May 21, 2016 How fast you get out kind of depends on you. I walked aggressively while in the hospital and made a great effort to get my fluids and "food" in. I wanted to be out in 24 hours and pushed to make it happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmorri 1,689 Posted May 21, 2016 I was in one night.....the morning of my release they did a leak test. Once it was confirmed that I had no leaks then they brought me a lunch try of broth, Jello, Popsicle and Water.....As soon as they could see I could keep liquids down they released me to go home.

CanadaLoser 80 Posted May 21, 2016 It depends on the Dr and how surgery went. My Drs norm is 2 nights. I know someone who didn't spend any nights. Surgery at 8 am, home by supper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswebb 38 Posted May 22, 2016 I stayed 2 nights. Originally planned on just one night, but the nausea got the best of me. I'm not going to lie, the first week or two were rough. Many 'what-did-I-get-myself-into' thoughts running through my head. I'm just coming up on my 4th week post op. However hearing from people that are 2,3,4 years out is comforting. It won't always be this hard. Your body WILL adjust and your new plumbing will adjust. I go back to work Monday after 4 weeks off. I'm nervous about the fatigue due to my job requires sharp mental focus. I've come a long way and so will you. Congrats on your new life! You will never regret it and good luck!

cj???? 2 Posted May 22, 2016 My surgery was 1230pm Saturday 14/5 and I came out 6pm Tuesday 17/5 this was private so I don't know if it's any different elsewhere I was glad to stay in though as I had a couple of days adjusting to the milkshakes/soups in the security of the hospital Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
