crawford8903 33 Posted April 21, 2017 Hi I wanted to know how long is the hospital stay because they told me 2 days but I see some say they were released the next day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMen88 70 Posted April 21, 2017 I was supposed to stay one night and be released the next day. However, I opted to stay an extra night due to how horrible I felt due to my gas pains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carolynjackson 171 Posted April 21, 2017 I was scheduled for 2 but ended up staying for 3 nights. I was very nauseated and couldn't keep anything down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blizair09 3,250 Posted April 22, 2017 I spent one night and was discharged mid-morning the next day. I have heard everything from a same-day discharge to one night to two nights. YMMV. 2 mustanglauri and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MeltsIntoWonder 125 Posted April 22, 2017 I stayed two nights due to nausea and mild dehydration. I was sleeping so much that I wasn't getting in enough fluids. My surgeon threatened me with a third night, and that was the push I needed to start drinking more. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hopekate 85 Posted April 22, 2017 I stayed three nights due to the pain, low oxygen, sleepy bladder, and my inability to drink 40 oz in a day. 2 ProudGrammy and mustanglauri reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Brightside 121 Posted April 22, 2017 My surgeon keeps eveyone at least 1 night, sometimes 2.There is a large surgery group in Dallas that releases it's patients the same day as surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawgirl 6 Posted April 22, 2017 One night and released the next day. The key is to get up and walk (or shuffle) because this will help with the gas pains that inevitably come after surgery. Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle. 2 Newme17 and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madamlash 21 Posted April 22, 2017 Two nights in hospital. This was to ensure pain was controllable, that i could go to the toilet myself and also do a swallow test x-ray to ensure no ruptures or leakage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
