How long was your hospital stay? I have a 1 1/2 year old and a 7 year old I hate being away from them for too long :( I hope it's not more than 2 days.

Surgery on Wednesday. Discharged on Thursday. I'm finding recovery to be a little difficult. You will probably need help with your kids.

I stayed two days but one day would have been enough for me.. I was told strictly NO lifting and NO bending, NO twisting, NO stretching and reaching for the first week.. and after that no lifting anything over 15 pounds until 6 weeks.

I stayed 2 nights and I was glad I did. I was happy to have the IV pain meds and the extra care. I had my sister at home to help me for the first two days at home and I was grateful. I would recommend that you have help with your little ones.

I stayed 2 nights also. I agree, 1 would've been enough.

My surgery was Feb 28th at 7am (I was his first one) & next morning they did a swallow study to check for a leak - after my results came back at around 2-3 that day I was discharged to home.

I was sleeved on a Monday at 7am and released the next day about 2pm. You will have to rest when you get home and concentrate on getting your fluids in. Some help will really be needed with your little ones.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
