I didn't think to ask was the surgery outpatient. Did anyone go home the same day?

Its not likely with the sleeve...its usually 1-3 days minimum. I was in for 2 and had absolutely no complications. Recovery was really quick too.

There are some people floating around here that were out patient... But I'd say most people stay in the hospital 2 days.

I think I've only read of one person who went home the same day -- I believe the majority of people at least stay over night. If there are other things 'fixed' during surgery, like band damage, or a hernia,or gallbladder removal, then it's possible there would be an extra day in hospital. And of course, if there are any complications they should keep you.

I know in the seminar the doctor said the sooner you're released the faster you'll heal. But he never said if he keep you at least one night. I'm putting all my ducks.in a row. I'm hoping they'll be calling with a date for the first week of June

With my hospital it's 1-2 nights. I ended up being there 2 nights due to having a later surgery & not getting setup in my room until later. Normally I would have been scrambling to get out of there after 1 night, but honestly I was ok with the 2.

I checked in at 5:30am on a Monday and went home at 2pm Tuesday. No problems. They made sure I could keep down Protein Drink and go pee and let me go home.

My surgeon just keeps you for 23 hours, so overnight but technically outpatient.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
