Hello all, I am have VSG surgery on Friday! So excited. I have gotten all of my questions answered except for one.... How long is the hospital stay? I am not really sure if I am looking at 1 night or 2. Any Advice? Prayers would be greatly appreciated!

Your doctor should have told you ahead of time how long your stay is. Mine was originally supposed to be 3 days and turned into 4 days due to excessive vomiting and inability to keep down fluids.

it depends on how well you do really. my doc usually keeps you for one day after, but he kept me for 2 days because i lived 2 hours away. some people stay 3 or even 4 days. i think the average stay is 2 days though.

For my surgeon and hospital it was to be a 2-3 day stay. I stayed for 3 because the doctor didnt want me to drive the 3 hours home until he was sure I was fine.

Mine was supposed to be 1; but the dr. asked if I wanted to stay 1 more night and I said yes. Mainly because I was exhausted!

My surgeon typically does a 2 night stay if all goes well.

My surgery was done in Tijuana, MX and my stay in the hospital was 2 night and 2 nights in a hotel........... I did great!

My doctor told me to plan on two nights - I went home after only one (my request). I was having no problems, and wanted to recover at home. I don't have any small children to take care of, my husband was there to take care of me, and he drove me home.

I was told that I would probably have a 1or 2 night stay. It was a 1 night stay, as I felt I could go home. Glad I did.
