How Many Days In The Hospital After Surgery



Recommended Posts

I know that every body will be different but just curious how long everyone stayed in the hospital after the surgery?

I was discharged at Day 1. Wanted to stay until Day 2, I didn't think I was ready.

Three days and nights, seemed just right!

I had surgery first thing in the morning on March 13th and was released from the hospital on March 15th in the afternoon as soon as my drain was removed. I was sleeved in Mexico, so upon discharge from the hospital I went to the hotel and stayed there for three more days before flying home. I didn't really feel that for me the hospital stay was even necessary, I definitely would have been fine having it as an outpatient procedure as some people do. If I had the option I would MUCH rather have been discharged the same day and done ALL my recuperating at the hotel!

I was 3 nights due to extreme nausea. Typically my dr discharges at 2 nights, I was more than ready to be discharged by the morning after my 3 night. In fact when he rounded at 7am, I got ready immediately and waited for my husband.

I was out the next day, was supposed to get to go home at 1 but had to wait for a prescription so I had to sit there until 5 waiting on the surgeon to get out of surgery.

Thanks for all the responses, this is good information. I want to say my doctor said only a one night stay, but i guess that really all depends on how you are doing with walking,ect. so was everyone up and walking no problems after the first week?

You're up and walking in a matter of hours. Definetly the same day.

I was scheduled for a 2 night stay but they kept me for a 3rd due to not being able to get my fluids in. I was not feeling my best so I was actually happy to stay. My surgery was Friday late afternoon and I went home Monday afternoon. By that time, I was ready to go.

I stayed for 2 nights but the doctors want to make sure everything works well before discharging you. It's better to be safe than sorry

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
