The sleeve is relatively new to my bariatric center, so they keep patients for 2 nights. I was there 3 due to some cardiac "fun". Was soo happy to go home!

Surgery was 12/23/2013 at 7:30 a.m. Could have gone home next evening (Christmas Eve) but doctor decided one more night wouldn't hurt since I had not been up and around much. So, I went home Christmas day. My insurance had approved for five nights.

i was there one night only. the dr said i could stay another day if i wanted. i actually did want to, but there was no one available to pick me up the next day. i hope you have someone who will help at home. my bf's mother stayed with me for a week to help with my 2 children (ages 2 and 5)

Mine was done on outpatient basis - I was in admitting at 6:00 am and back at the condo by noon the same day (I've actually had dental work done where I was away from home longer!)

I slept for 3 hours when we got there, then got up and walked every hour, including thru the night...just pacing thru the condo.

My surgery was on a Thursday and I was in pretty good shape by Monday. I worked 1/2 days the following week - I telecommute, but was able to sit at my desk and work with no issues.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
