Length Of Hospital Stay?

[Harrier's Woman 58]

Just wondering...how long did you stay in the hospital after being banded? If it was less than a day; do you felt you should have stayed longer?

I was on the operating table at 8am and home by noon. I know some stay overnight. I was good with being home as I did not have pain or huge discomfort.

Same day and no need to stay for me.

I was told originally it would be an overnight stay for WLS because they want to check for leaks the next morning, but I'm not sure if that really applies to Lap-Band or not, since it's just a few sutures they put in.

Same day for me. I was home by 2 and that was b/c I opted for the extra dose of pain med in the IV

My surgery was at 1230 p. I was home in my own bed by 730pm the same day. I didn't feel the need or have any medical reason to stay in the hospital

I stayed overnight. Surgery was don't by 3:30 pm and left hospital at 2:00pm next day. No I didn't feel I needed to stay more. I actually kept stalking my nurse to hurry along the paperwork to get me out of there. Us nurses make the worst patients ya kno lol

My surgery was afternoon and I stayed overnight. Went home the next day afternoon.

It was ok in the hospital, but I was bugging the staff to discharge me quick as I really wanted to be in my own bed. They woke you every 2 hours to walk for 10-15 minutes.... necessary, I know, but a real pain.

2 days for me because I had some heart issues. I woke in pain so I didnt want to move after my second day I was ready to go . You will do fine!

I had checked in at 8.30am, operated on around noon, stayed overnight and left around 8am the next day. I always feel terrible from Anesthesia, and was quite uncomfortable and in pain which I appreciated the nurses help.
