Mine would have been one night, but it turned to two because I threw up a few times. It was likely from the antibiotic they were giving me. As soon as they removed the antibiotic IV, I was fine and was discharged later that day.

I had sleeve, hernia repair and gallbladder removed. I went in at 1 pm and was in my room by 6 pm. Surgery was about 2 hours and recovery was 3 hours. My leak test was done during the surgery, how I have no idea. 3 hours in recovery was due to BP being extremely low.

I am facing the same procedures. Can I ask how the recovery went for you after you came home? I have taken 5 weeks off of work as I anticipate it will be a more difficult recovery.

My VSG and hiatal hernia repair was about 1.5 hours long. Zero complications or pain post surgery. Only had nausea first night as expected. I did spend two nights at the hospital. Self paid.

I don't want to scare you but recovery is not going too well so far.

Surgery was a success, Sent home @ 6 PM yesterday. I called Dr. @ 1:30 AM & he said to go back to hospital for IV pain meds. I Checked with RN @ 8:00 AM & she told me same thing. Spouse & I were exhausted so rested and went back to hospital at 2:00 PM today. The pain meds are making me sleep but not controlling pain. Been here all day, they gave me dilaud for pain, fluids & Vitamins as I'm dehydrated & now I have a UTI. On the way home now from hospital & have to follow up on Thursday with surgeon. All I've had is Water & meds. No Protein at all. Sometimes I can't even keep the water down without having to throw up.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
