# of nights in hospital?

[donaboss 131]

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.

I stayed one night because I was a revision patient, but typically it's an outpatient procedure with my doctor.

1 day for me ... I had surgery @ 2:00pm I left the next morning @ 10:00 am ... I had no complication ... I actually was ready to go home the same day of surgery .... But that didn't happened for me ..????

The answer to this question varies by doctor and situations. Seems so similar to the different pre and post-op diets and when you get certain types of food.< /p>

1 night. Out of surgery about 6pm and discharged by 9am. No pain, no nausea and drank the glass of Water they gave me to sip on overnight just fine.

I stayed 4 days, due to some complications. Nothing I couldn't overcome, but I definitely couldn't go home. Pain was the least of my problems and I never had any vomiting, but I had some breathing problems and an allergic reaction to a pain med.

I stayed 2. They wouldn't let me leave until I passed gas and that didn't happen until after my second night there.

One night for me. Surgery was at noon and I had my leak test the following morning at 9. Once I was able to get moving and start drinking, I was good. I left at 2pm. I also had no complications or issues with drinking.

One night and if they had wanted me to stay another I would have escaped because that hospital bed was so uncomfortable.

I had a late surgery time, 4 pm. To my room by 7 and discharged the next morning by 9! I def think there is different plans for each surgeon... My surgeon considered this surgery outpatient as well, had I had an early morning surgery time I would have been out the same day.

I had 3 because of nausea. I think by late afternoon I could have gone home the second night but they wanted to make sure I was going to keep fluids down.

One night. I had no pain at all. I walked for 45 minutes every 2-3 hours and that really helped with the gas pain in my shoulder. My Dr. was great about not kicking me out until I was ready to go. I opted to go after one night but they would have let me stay another if I wanted to. My roommate had a hernia fixed and gall bladder out in addition to the sleeve so the Dr. kept him a second night.
