Only one day in hospital?



Recommended Posts

I did a lot of research on my surgeon and I really like him but I am only suppose to stay in the hospital for one night. Surgery is 9:30am on June 11th and I get discharged the next day after a barium swallow to check for any leaks. Anyone else similar? Just starting to freak out a bit because I'm watching you tube videos of people who stayed in for 3 days. Anyone with a similar experience that could put my mind at ease would be helpful!!!

I went in Wednesday, May 21st and had my surgery at 11:24am. I was discharged at 7:30pm Thursday. If you're walking and using your spirometer and doing good, they send you home. It's been a week today and I feel great!

I had my surgery at 7am on a Friday and was home by 6pm on Saturday. As long as you are taking liquids well and didn't have any complications there's no need for a longer hospital stay. Just make sure to walk as much as possible and remember the nurses are your friends.... even when they have to wake you up every couple of hours. (they are also the ones who bring pain medication if needed haha)

I would love to go home the same day, but I am worried about dehydration post op. I drink a lot of Water normally. Being water restricted will really suck!

Sorry I didn't mean they would be restricting Water. I meant not being physically able to drink enough fluids to keep from being dehydrated.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
