I stayed for two nights. I'm glad I did. The first full day, I was really out of it. And the dr has to make sure you can tolerate liquids before you go home. Plus, I have three young kids at home.

Good Luck!

I stayed 3 nights, I had some trouble keeping fluids in so I was there the max my insurance allowed. My friend told me his sister went in on a Mon. and was out Tuesday evening. So it will depend on how you are after surgery.

But you do have to hold in your liquids before they will release you.

My stay was fine. The first night they did wake you up every two hours for vitals.

The first day I was out of it from the meds. Didn't get up an around until after 8 or 9. I did walk alot. I may have been able to go home the next day but my BP was a bit too high. Once they got me the correct dosage of BP meds things went to normal and I was able to leave.

2 nights....don't be in a rush to go home :) It was supposed to be 1 but I couldn't keep anything down first 24 hours....so they kept me an extra night. It's nice to feel good when you go home :) Nurses and staff were great....you just press the button and they come :)

One night and most of the next day. Ice chips only the first day, and added Water the second day. Couldn't wait to get home to my own bed and no squeezy leg things!

My goodness- I've requested to let me stay as long as I can. It will be for sure 2 nights which means I'll push for 3 :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
