    1 night. I was outta there at 7:30 the next morning, and anxious to go home. 1 night seems to work just fine for me, though having a call button with a nurse available for all your needs surely is a

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.

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.

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.

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.
