Day Surgery or Inpatient?



Recommended Posts

As I was reading a few post on here, I noticed that some people stayed in this hospital after surgery. Just wondering in the sleeve is a day surgery or you actually stay inpatient for a few days then go home? if so.. how long is the stay?

I was sleeved Dec 6th at 8 pm and stayed overnight. Some people stay longer but usually its one or two over night stays

It is usually an overnight or more. They have to make sure that suture line on your stomach doesn't fail when you start taking in liquids.

I have seen a couple people mention having a swallow study done. My doctor doesn't do that, but does keep people for 1-2 days post op.

I had the sleeve and they originally said 4 days but sent me home the day after. I was a little disappointed because I was nervous about going home with the new tummy.

But I did pretty good. I am 11 days out & as of Monday down 12lbs

Depends on your surgeon. My sleeve was impatient, I had to stay 3 nights. I would never do it as outpatient. The care and support I received was amazing.

I stayed one night in hospital and was released with no issues the next morning.

My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. I will go home the same day then return the next day for a swallow study and drain tube removal.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
