What is the common length of stay in the hospital after VSG ?

I stayed two nights. Day after surgery I had my leak test and when that was fine I slowly progressed through the diet stages until discharge the following day.

My doctor wanted to discharge me after one night's stay. However, I ended up staying another two days as my mum was tied up with my niece at home. Plus, I also need help getting out of the bed. Hence, for me, it was much better staying in hospital where there is a recliner bed and nurses who can help you. I am pretty independent but I am thankful I stayed at the hospital a bit longer. Hence, it really depends on you and if the support network is strong at home.

One overnight was more than enough for me! I couldn't sleep, it was a terrible experience. Once I got home my recovery began and it's been smooth sailing ever since!

My surgery was on a Monday about 3pm and I was discharged the Wednesday around 10 am. Just glad to be home.
