aligator517 60 Posted November 14, 2016 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.

BSWhip08 23 Posted November 14, 2016 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.

aligator517 60 Posted November 15, 2016 Good luck @@Candyj ! As hard as it is, try to stay calm. The surgeon and nurses will take great care of you. Just push yourself to get up and walk walk walk after-it helps! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bama2012 76 Posted November 15, 2016 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.. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
