Tomorrow is my big day. ????.

The Dr said if there are no complications I could go home on the same day. My son has a football game on Sat. @11:30

What do you guys think? Did you feel like you could have gone home same day?

Do you think you could have went and chilled at a youth football game for 1hr the next day?

[aliekat55 157]

No to both. it took me about 36 hours to be able to chill at home and another day or two before I could have made it to a game. On the other hand i am old 58 and the lady who had her vsg before me looked great 8 hours afterwards. so you may have to see. If you go I would make sure you have an exit strattegy so you can go home early if you start feeling bad.

If I go I will definitely have someone take me and leave if I get tired. I also would plan to keep to my self.

How about thread for MEN getting sleeved in October. I was on the 90day program and got approved by Aetna last Friday 10/04/2013. I did my pre-op class Wednesday and I am going under the knife next Friday 10/18/2013.

How long did it take to get approved from Aetna ?? I'm already at 3 wks waiting....... ????

It took a few days. However, I built a relationship with a case worker and called her every month then when I submitted my case.

Have you tried calling? No you meet the requirements?

I just had my surgery on Monday and there was no way I could had done something like that. Between the anesthesia still working itself out, the hydrocodone and the morphine drip, the entire day or the surgery is a large blur. I sent texts and emails that I don't even remember sending!

My doctor told me I will be in the hospital at least one night and maybe two depending upon how well I recover. The biggest things he said were my abilities to walk the hospital halls and how well I can drink fluids.

So strange all the different practices. My Dr does self-pay as an outpatient and said if I want to go home from the hospital same day he was fine with it if I felt good. I called my insurance company and they said that it is technically an out patient procedure with 24hr observation.

I'm playing it by ear and don't care either way. If I feel good I'll sleep in my bed, if not I'll go home on Sat.

Well I'm 33 years old and although I went home the fallowing day of my surgery in the evening. No I wouldn't have wanted to chill at anything . The first day is intense . I went in at 830 am and all day long was in a lot of pain. But after a little walking in the night and the passing of some much needed gas I was much better. I and now four day out and feeling great not 100. But good non the less. Just plan on passing on the game boss. Don't worried though the recovery is exceptionally well if you do as the Dr says.

I'm going to the hospital. I'm nervous and second guessing everything.

Good luck Russ. I know you have prepared and waited a long time for this day. It will be worth it. Oh, it will be worth it! Before you know it, you will be waking up in you hospital room and think to yourself: "is it over already? It was not that bad. " Just remember to walk when you are able to (helps with the gas) and relax. See you on the other side!
