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.

I had my surgery at 8am and spent the night but feel like I could have easily gone home the same day.

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..

      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.
