I stayed two nights. Normal stay is one night, but my surgery was late in the day, finished at 5pm, so they kept me the extra night just to be sure. I went home at noon after the 2nd night.

I've gotten sleeved on the 6/12 and plans were I would go home as of Friday' date=' but they are keeping me till tomorrow- hopefully I can go home tomorrow.. I've been having pain mostly where my drain is. And I had a bad cause of nausea I'm still only on 60mL of Clear Liquids :(

I'm wandering how many of you have had such elongated stays? My nurses won't say much as far as what is normal, just that it is different from person to person.[/quote']

I was sleeved on the 12 (wednesday) as well....I was home Thursday night

How did your swallow test go?? That maybe why they kept you

I was sleeved around 5pm on Friday 5/24 and left the hospital by 5pm on Saturday 5/25. No complications or pain. Never did take any pain medication in the hospital or at home and did take nausea medication right before I left to go home just in case for the car ride....

I was sleeved may 21 in Sweden. I stayed 2 nights at the clinic. Day one post op I felt discomfort but no pain. I have had nothing but smooth sailing this past month. I have more energy, my mood is much better as I know I am on a great journey to health and wellbeing. I horsebackride almost everyday and I am enjoying life. i am so happy I found this surgery. Here in Sweden only gastric bypass is done by hospitals so I went to a private clinic and paid out of pocket. Best money ever spent. I have lost 15 lbs which is more than I have ever lost in that short period of time before.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
