rosestara 48 Posted January 18, 2017 Every person and program is different. i stayed one night because I was doing well and drinking well but the woman in the room next to mine who went to my same clinic was in for 2 nights because of nausea and blood pressure being either too high or too low, I don't remember. She didn't have blood pressure issues before surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vee16 33 Posted January 18, 2017 I stood 2 nights bc of vomiting, slight fever and irregular blood pressure. It was all over the place. But I didn't mind. It gave me time to adjust before going home and being on my own. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hayleyf3706 150 Posted January 18, 2017 My surgeon only required that I stay one night. But he told me to plan on two, pending any complications. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RunningWithScissors 74 Posted January 18, 2017 I just had my sleeve and hernia repair Tuesday (1-17-17) and it was done outpatient. No problems at all so far. Feel so good I wondered if they even really did the surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coachthex32 166 Posted January 18, 2017 My surgery was at 1pm. I was home by 7:30 pm that evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready_to_be_thin 179 Posted January 18, 2017 Mine was supposed to be just an overnight stay, but I ended up staying 2 nights. I had a really tough time coming out of anesthesia due to sleep apnea, so I was sent to ICU the first night. Then I went to a regular room the next day and spent the next night. So had surgery on Wednesday, and went home on Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cklasun 33 Posted January 18, 2017 Mine was one night, I was grateful. Had really bad shoulder pain and got iv narcotics all night for it. That was my biggest complaint after surgery. It hurt for like a week. They told me that can happen but man it sucked. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylemed 5 Posted January 19, 2017 I was wondering how long you would have to stay at the hospital after having the gastric sleeve Sent from my LG-K373 using the BariatricPal App This was a question I had to and started comparing my recovery to others - which didn't help! I stayed in the hospital for 3 nights and I am glad I did. I had a really rough second day and needed that extra night to feel comfortable. Your body will tell you what you are able to do, and it's so important to listen. If you need another night, take it. Don't push it. Feel confident that you can make it through Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bossportsgal 136 Posted January 19, 2017 Usually two days but I insisted on going on next day. Which I did. But wished I stayed. I missed the attention from the nurses. Making sure I was comfortable Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
