Normal hospital stay?



Recommended Posts

It depends on your surgery time and tolerance. I had surgery at 7:30am and wasn't allowed any food or drink that day. The following day they started testing me on Jello, broth and Water. If I could tolerate, they would have sent me home. Unfortunately, I struggled with nausea and couldn't keep the Jello down so I ended up staying an extra night.

My surgeon said he planned for me to go home same day as surgery. Is this normal??

Scheduled sleeve: 12/6/16

I had my band removed and revised to a sleeve done at the same time. I went home the same day at 4 pm. I had an easy recovery.

Mine was same day surgery. Had the surgery at 11:00 am and was home by 5:00pm. Once out of recovery they had me up and walking around, drinking and peeing. I was fine to go home. Hardest part was coming out of recovery.

Same as when I had the band in and out - think it depends on what your Dr thinks is best.

Many doctors will wait until you can pass gas, walk around and your blood oxygen levels are up before discharge. That is assuming all went well of course. Good luck won't be as bad as you expect..

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
