Nights spent in the hospital after sleeve surgery?

[Dmm1965 3]

I had my surgery on a Monday I went home Wednesday. I have nausea and bad stomach ache that woulnt ease up Not typical.Most ppl I know of didnt have this issue. But my pathology report a week after showed h pylori, so maybe that's why.

Neat- sweet and I'm glad everything is complete! That's the smooth way to do it! Congratulations Jeelena on a surgery well done!

I was supposed to go home the next day but that didn’t happen. I was dry heaving and couldn’t drink so I got to stay until I was holding Fluid down which was 3 nights. I’m 8 days out now :) feeling pretty great. Ready to get these staples out lol

I stayed two nights and like you, my surgeon was three hours away. (I also have twins by the way but they are teenagers). Anyway so I drove myself down to the surgery and stayed the two nights. Then my husband came and picked me up when they released me and drove me home. I left my car sitting at the hospital for two weeks! It was kind of inconvenient but that was how we had to do it.

Hi guys! I'm new here. I was recently approved for gastric sleeve. I am nervous and excited!

I was told that I have to stay over night at least 1 night after my surgery. Is 1 night typical or will it turn into more?

I live about 1.5 hours away from the hospital my surgeon performs her surgeries and have 2 year old twins. My MIL is staying with them and I told her it should only be one night. My husband is taking the whole week off to help me recover and take care of my twins.

How many nights did you stay in the hospital? Were you in a lot of pain? Can I hold toddlers afterwards?

I stayed one night. As far as your babies, hold- yes. Pick up - no. I watch my grand babies and two of them are two and under. I just had to help them climb up in my lap (while getting them to avoid the tender parts) or have some one else hand them to me. Good luck! And what a great hubs for taking off work 👍🏻

1 night. Hospitals are hard places to sleep. Welcome.

Hello, I stayed 3 days to much for me but you can’t hold the baby for a while. At least until your doctor says it’s okay. I have a baby too and I was told I couldn’t hold him for 6 weeks. So I just lay in bed and play with him from there. Can’t do much because you can hurt your insides. I’m in so much pain it’s not even funny and it’s been 3 weeks for me.

Good luck tho. I wish you the best on your journey!

I was only in for 1 night. The day after they usually want to make sure you can keep liquid down. At least for the first few weeks my doc said don’t lift anything above 25lbs but I’m sure they could sit on your lap but careful around the stomach. It will be very tender to touch for about a week although mine lasted about 2 weeks.

Was required to stay 3 nights, but since I live 3hrs flight time away from the hospital doing the surgery, and having one or 2 other health issues with potential issues and risk, I was kept for 4 days, then discharged into a close-by hotel, and finally given flight clearance to travel home. I feel sure that usually, where there are no complicating factors and where the surgery has also been uncomplicated, as it usually is, that 2 - 3 days discharge is commonplace. Good luck with it all!!

Hi I stayed in hospital 2nights but it was because of the pain from the gas they give you during surgery! But I walked as much as I could and what helped me move the gas was lying on my side and a lot of walking believe me it’s worth it in the end ! I just had my sleeve surgery two weeks ago !

My surgery was at 10am and I got to leave around 6pm the next evening. No pain just soreness. You’ll be in no shape to hold your babies. I have Lil ones too. It’s hard I know.
