Hey I haven't been banded yet. My Bday will be May 2nd so one week left. I was actually just wondering if anyone else had to stay in the hospital for a day or more. My hospital doesnt do outpatient so I will be there from Wednesday at 6am to Thursday evening maybe Friday morning I was told. Did anyone else have to do that and if so how was your experience?

Overnight as well. I know it seems like a pain but you will be thankful for it after the surgery.

Was in hospital for a total of 37 hrs

6am Wednesday morning out 7pm Thursday evening

I stayed overnight by choice and it was well worth it to have access for pain medication via IV. I also felt more comfortable moving around with the nurses there to supervise. If you have a choice, I would recommend staying for the piece of mind.
