Nights spent in the hospital after sleeve surgery?



Recommended Posts

2 nights for me. I'm glad I did the second night as it gave me more time to adjust.

I stayed one night in hospital and then I was discharged the following day, I would say make sure you have your fluids ie Water and try to move if you can because the more you move the better it will be. The pain wasnt much my threshold is very high. Oh you will definitely need your hubbies help in the first few days because bending and lifting is not advisable . Mine helped to bathe me and I appreciated it so much. Good luck and take care.

I was outpatient; however, I think one night would have been better because I am finding it hard to keep anything down including Water. Pain isn’t bad, the nausea is the only difficult thing to deal with. I’m two days post op.

I stayed two nights. I had a cold when I had my surgery and then I was coughing. I couldn’t sleep much in the hospital and made SURE I could go home after that.

It truly depends on the person. I was told it could potentially be a 2 night stay, but I ended up only staying 1 night, which I believe is what is most common.
