Was told I could leave after one night. I replied I was not ready. Up to then I had stood on my feet but not walked. I stayed another day and felt reasonably good for having had major abdominal surgery when I left. If your insurance will cover it, my advice is to stay two rather than one night in the hospital.

I stayed one night but I was up and walking right away. I went for several walks that night and as soon as I could pee on my own I was able to go home.

My stay is suppose to be 2 nights as long as there are no complications.

1 night. I was so happy to go home because I could not rest in the hospital. It felt so good to sleep in my own bed. I had zero complications.

Less than 24 hours after surgery I was on my way out the door. Not my choice but insurance rules.

I heard from other patients that here in Germany it's more like 5. I guess I'll be happy for that if there are problems, but my guess is I'm gonna really wanna go home after day 3 or so...

My dr said one night. My surgery date is 4/7. My dr also only suggests 1 week (really 5 days) of liquid diet.< /p>

I had an option to do my surgery outpatient, which my surgeon says has been working really well. Unfortunately as a self pay, the only way to get the supplemental insurance was to go to the hospital. I believe my stay will be one night. I would prefer to do outpatient.

      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! 😞
