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

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.

My surgeon only required that I stay one night. But he told me to plan on two, pending any complications.

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

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.

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.

I was wondering how long you would have to stay at the hospital after having the gastric sleeve

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 :)

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

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
