two nights, about 48hrs total.

i actually requested to stay the second night because i could not get rid of all the air they pumped into me. i felt like a swollen tick. glad i did. the next day i was a little better and much more able to go home.

Had surgery Monday afternoon. My surgeon came in Tuesday At 4 pm and asked if I wanted to go home. I could have, but my husband had just left and had to get my kids to their activities. So two nights it was, which was fine for me.

I spent 3 days including the day of surgery, but I had complications with anesthesia suppressing my breathing and oxygen so I couldn't even get out of bed or sit up without fainting and needing oxygen support until I weaned off the pain meds.

I had surgery Aug 1 (Tues) and they anticipated that I'd be there until Thurs. I was discharged Wed. evening, so one night. That was a surprise.

Anyone do a sleeve to bypass revision? Curious about how recovery time with sleeve compares to bypass revision. Thanks!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
