For me an overnight stay was required.

I'm so glad I stayed overnight. I have a toddler and it would have been too much coming home to her, jumping all over me. Also, that pain button was WONDERFUL! Great stuff!!!!!

I stayed overnight. I didn't expect to but after surgery I was in soooooo much pain I couldn't really wake up fully and I needed major pain meds. I was sent home with liquid morphin and vicodin and it just took the edge off. I felt better a little over a week after surgery. Not what I expected but I'm so glad I have my band now.

I did not stay overnight because my surgery was done at a surgery center that does not do overnight. It was fine. I had my surgery about 8:30 am and was walking out before 11:00. I was sore and tired but took my pain meds and slept off and on the rest of the day and the night. The only real requirement was that I had to drink a glass of Water before leaving- otherwise I would have been out of there by 10:30!

Anyways, I don't think I would have benefited any by staying over night.

Hi,

My insurance covered an overnight stay but I opted out of that. I wanted to be at home in my own bed and even though I felt out of it and uncomfortable, I was home. It was a little scary to be home the same day after the band and hiatal hernia surgery.

If you can, stay overnight! If you like the comforts of your own home and have people to help you, go home!:smile2:

Good luck!!

Just got home from my stay at the hospital. I got banded yesterday morning.

I'm so glad I stayed overnight. I was really taken care of by the doctors and the nurses. And the pain relievers and antibiotics were given to me through my IV. I slept like a baby most of the time, but sometimes the nurses will wake me up to take my vitals.

The doctor also got the chance to replace my bandages the next day since I was still there in the hospital.
