Just curious how long most people stay in the hospital after being banded. Thanks!

I had mine done at a surgical center...went in at 6:30, home by noon! Fortunately, DH stayed home with me that day.

I was in for 24 hrs. Almost to the minute.

I was in for 2 nights because I was feeling very week and naucious. I also had a dehydration problem after surgery. Best of luck! Nicole

I was daysurgery. Went in at 7:30 AM back to the hotel by 2. Went home the next day.

Mine was day surgery also. Had surgery at 9am and was home by 2 in my own bed. It was great!

I went in at 7am and left the hospital at 9pm. I probably should have stayed over night. Everyone is different---just listen to your body.

I went in at 9:00 am and went home at 2:00 the following day. I was in so much pain that I don't know how anyone goes home the same day within hours of the surgery. It took five hours in recovery for them to get me stable enough to move up to my room. I should have stayed a second night, but I wanted out of there, until I got home. But everyone is different.

Mine was an overnight stay but now they do them outpatient.

I was in over night, which was really good because they gave me serious pain killer throughout the night. Bad thing - it was really hard to sleep in the hospital.

I had mine done at a surgery center. Surgery at 10am home by 3pm. Although I don't remember much other than the swallow test. Then waking up in my own bed. I don't remember the trip home at all. I didn't have any pain until the next day. Thank god for liquid pain killers!

Good Luck!

I was in ICU overnight and discharged by noon. Every doctor is different....

My doc says I will stay over night.

in at 11am out by 4pm --- no problems at all

I stayed until 6pm the next night. So banded at 0930 on the 28th and went home the next night. They wanted to make sure I had 2 "meals" of liquid diet and was able to handle it before they let me go.

Mine was same day surgery. I believe I was home by about 3PM that same day.
