Longest hospital stay?

In your experience, what is the longest hospital stay after the sleeve surgery, for a plain old surgery with no complications?

No complications, but Dr had me stay in the hospital five days.

What was the reasoning, do you know? It seems that most are in and out in a day or two!

I had no complications and I stayed three days, two nights. I almost had to stay another night because I was having trouble getting much fluids and protein in. I was able to get down a protein shake and convince my surgeon I would keep working on it at home.

I was one day. I actually wanted to stay another day but doc said i was fine to go since leak test was fine and I was able to hold liquid and jello down. :P

He was worried I would become dehydrated if I went home.

No complications, weight about 244 age 29. Stayed 2 nights in the hospital. Glad I did too. I had 2 under 3 waiting for me at home. I got to sleep all day! 2 nights was covered in my self pay package, so I wanted to use them up

No complications. 3 nights in hospital.
