How many days in the hospital



Recommended Posts

Can you all tell me how long you had to stay in the hospital?

And by the way, my surgery date got rescheduled from March16 to the 30th. I'm not very happy today :);):)

Tanya, most people stay in the hospital one night, if that. I was in and out the same day.

Don't worry about the rescheduling. March has begun and the end will come sooner than you think!! (On March 30 my brother will be turning 45, so it will be coming very quickly for him. :) )

I stayed overnight, but was happy to do so. I figured I might just as well be there in a bed that I could raise/lower, and people fussing over me! lol

I stayed overnight. Left the next day around 3 because I had a little trouble peeing. Then when everything was flowing again I went home.

I wouldn't have liked to come out same day. My Doc does two nights and I was glad of them although more than able to come home on morning of day two, less than 48 hour post op.

I stayed one night. I'm sorry your date got moved, but it's just a little bump in the road. You'll get your band.

Tanya I am so sorry your band date got changed! Whata bummer. It will get here before ya know it. Keep that chin up girl. you will get that band.

My Dr. said he will only keep me a few hours after surgery. Of course unless there are complications. He said I would go it at 5:30 am and my surgery will start at 7:30 am I should be home by that same afternnoon.I would much rather recover at home.

Sorry about your date being rescheduled. It's hard when you've been anticipating something and then find it moved farther away.

I stayed zero nights in the hospital. I dont' like hospitals, I had no pain and I begged to go home the same day. I was glad it worked out like that.

I had my surgery and left the hospital within about 4 hours or waking up. Maybe less, I can't exactly remember it was over a year and a half ago. I woke up, they gave me juice. Took my vitals, made me do a couple laps around the recovery room and sent me home.

My DH spent a couple of nights in hospital, but he is a special case. They are keeping me overnight, but I'm a special case too. Most of the folks that use my DR are home that same day.

I stayed three nights.

I was only surpose to stay ONE!

I had complications with my band being swollen and I had to be on a lot of antinflamitories...

The day I left I had drank some sips of grape juice and puked it all up...

BUT MY Plane left that day and I HAD TO GO HOME!!

So I just got up and said "I gotta go" "I will be fine, I know what to do"

I didnt have the money to waste on changing my flight.

They said my band was tight, but it only meant I would loose more weight and have to be more carefull..

I had a hard time at home for a few more days but nOW I am Just great!

I am on day 16, and I drink tomatoe Soup everyday and popcycles and my favorite thing in the world grape juice.< /p>

Ok so I got rescheduled from the 16th to the 30th it doesnt look too bad but I tell you if I get one more call from the surgeon's office about another date I think I'll scream. I'm gonna keep my head up and hopefully one day join you all in bandland!

Hi there. I stayed overnight, but my doc gave me the choice to go home the same day. I would reccomend you stay overnight if possible.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
