My doc told me to plan on 2 and a half days. So day of surgery, plus two overnights, then discharged the third morning.

I was told that without any complications, plan on staying overnight. That's what I was told, and that was what I did....wish you the very best!!

Surgery was on 2/10 and I was out 2/12 so about 2 1/2 days... went home late afternoon.

2 1/2 days with no complications

Mine was two nights.

One night. Just under 24 hours including surgery.

One night for me.

One night, just about 36 hours from pre op to discharge for me. The doctor said to plan for 1 to 3 nights, with 1 night being most common.

I am an outlier. I went home the same day. Had to argue with the physician about this but the nurse practitioner was okay with it. Glad I did. I had no problems.

I went home the day after surgery. I had surgery around 7 am and went home about 2 pm the next day.

One night stay in the hospital for me. I had surgery around noon and went home the following day at 3pm.

Wow...I was told 3 nights...My surgery is scheduled for a Thursday, was told I would go home on Sunday...

I was in on a Monday morning at 5am for surgery and discharged that Thursday late afternoon. My program has a three day stay usually for the sleeve, I stayed an extra day to consume more liquids.

Mine was out patient. Checked in at 1pm left at 9:30pm same night. Although if I had any issues or they thought I need observation they would've kept me overnight.
