How long is the hospital stay



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done, my gall bladder out and a hernia repair. I was supposed to stay one night but stayed 2 due to a snow storm. I could have gone home after one but I am secretly happy I was there the extra night. I could have managed at home since I opted not to take any narcotic pain medication but it was nice to have help getting out of bed if I needed it.

I pushed to be released the next day because I hate hospitals and also because my friend needed to return home on my day 2 after surgery. I think 2 days is probably more normal, but I was really motivated to get out of that hospital, so I was out in about 26 hours from checkin

I went home the next day about 24hrs after surgery. I would have been discharged earlier that day but my blood pressure was really high and they wanted to monitor it a little longer.

I expect to be there for one night and released early the next day. I tend to have a high tolerance for pain and am usually above par with my surgeries; I will also be doing as much walking around as I can so I can go home early enough. That's my hope.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
