I stayed two because I was a revision patient. A friend of mine with the same doctor had the sleeve also and was a first time weight loss surgery patient spent one. It depends on your doctor and how you feel the next day after surgery.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery.

I had my mom which was amazing but after the third day of her not letting me do anything I kicked her out! Lol... I was very lucky to have such great support

2 nights because I was scared and kept asking questions "is this normal is that normal" I think my doctor knew so yea two nights but it wasn't bad.

I stayed 2 days. I would suggest you stays 2 for some reasons.

1. Get used to drinking just liquids. It will be hard going home right the next day and you will be head hungry. I took about 5 good days for me to realize that I can't have food.

2. The pain is bad the first 2 days. Why not have someone take care of you.

3. You will be relaxed.

Good luck to you.

My sister had this last march and she stayed 4 days because she could not drink her liquids.
