tholbert08 51 Posted June 20, 2016 I keep seeing people that have had the sleeve are staying overnight at the hospital. I got the impression this was day surgery. Did I miss something? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
busybeebug 415 Posted June 20, 2016 I think it depends on your surgeon and program. Mine is one day overnight for pain control mostly. But I've read a bunch go in the am and leave in the pm barring any complications Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverthreads 183 Posted June 20, 2016 Mine was an overnight stay -- first thing the following morning I had to do a barium swallow so they could see everything was flowing OK, then I was allowed liquids for the first time. Since I was walking fine, eating (well, drinking) fine, I was allowed to go home that evening. In the meantime I was on IV support and had a PCA for pain. Seemed like a good system -- but since I've never had surgery before I have nothing to compare it with! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magoosmom 115 Posted June 21, 2016 Mine is a 3-day, 2-night as well. I am actually not having my surgery until 2:30-3:00 tomorrow so it will be late. I am surprised that it would ever be a day surgery--seems like such a major surgery to have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
