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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
