Has anyone cane home the same day as surgery?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved July 1 and went home the same day. Surgery was at 7:15 am and I left at 5:00 pm. They would have had me leave earlier but I had a bad reaction to anesthesia and was having oxygen issues.

I went home the next afternoon. I definitely would have slept better if I'd gone home the same day... (well, except that then I wouldn't have had the pain med pump, which was awesome!) I kept setting off the alarms because my pulse or blood pressure would drop too low. I wasn't concerned about that because I always have low blood pressure and my pulse is pretty low too. (I've been "excused" from donating blood because my pulse was below 50 - and that was pre-surgery.)

Excellent. How did you feel when you got home? You know' date=' day one, day two? Everyone else seems to be in the hospital for days one and two. I'm just wondering how you felt at home. Thanks for reassuring me.[/quote']

The first day I came home I felt fine, slept a lot, took a shower. Day 2 was the worst of all of my recovery. The gas was horrible, I was still nauseated from the anthesesia. But it's all been up hill since then :) ill be 2 weeks this coming Wednesday and I've lost 20 lbs so far

      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! 😞
