4 days in the hospial after surgery?!?



Recommended Posts

My doctor requires 4-5 days on inpatient stay after surgery. So I'll have surgery Monday the 17th and if it goes perfect he'll only make me stay until the 20th or 21st....anyone else doc require this long of a stay?

I was in for 4 days. It was standard for all VGS patients.

What are you having done? Are you having laparoscopic sleeve? Seems like a lot of time. Can't believe insurance would pay for that if no complications.

My doc says 1-2 days in the hospital.

Another area that all programs are different in, a lot depends on insurance also. My doctor said 2 days as long as im getting some fluids in.

I was in for 2 days. The doc said that's what I should expect and that's what it was... I'm surprised your insurance would pay for all of that.

I was told I would be there for about 1.5 days.

Standard? Wow. I went in at 1:00 pm and was out by 10:00 am the next day.

I was in 2 days, but could have stayed longer. I didn't have any issues other than just not feeling great. Most insurance pays on the DRG, not number of days stay, so it's not likely a patient would be billed for a longer stay, other than copays and deductables.

I have tricare and I'm having my surgery done at a military treatment facility in Bethesda Maryland. So insurance isn't an issue. Everything is covered except my food and even that is covered sometimes. I'll also have one hernia repaired. But before I knew that he told me that was standard for VSG for his patients. He took my gallbladder out 3 weeks ago and did a fantastic job! Scars are minimal and I heeled rather quickly.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
