I was in the hospital for 2 nights. I was ready to go back home after 1.

The weekend staff at a hospital is different than the weekday staff. I had my surgery on Friday. I would have been better off scheduling it for the early or mid part of the week, in which case I might have gone home after a 1 nights stay.

Everyone is different. I was up and walking every two hours after surgery, round the clock. I took no pain meds after I left the recovery room. Didn't need to. Others crawled out of their hospital beds for the first time a couple days after surgery. They tended to stay longer.

I stayed 3 nights, which I was happy about. I was especially glad to have the IV in so I didn't have to worry about or risk dehydration right after surgery. I also had no nausea or pain as it was very well managed in the hospital.

I actually just posted this a couple days ago but I guess I posted in the wrong section...

But my nurse told me I will most likely be staying over night! My surgery is scheduled for 12:30pm, and I'll probably check out around 8am the next morning.


Kind of panicking because I'm not sure that's enough time!!

      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. 🤞
