Was anyone sleeved outpatient?



Recommended Posts

I had an internal bleed so I was in the hospital for 4 days and needed 3 blood transfusions.

I was sleeved outpatient on Sept 8, 2014. Then stayed overnight in the hotel, went back in the morning for fluids and a recheck and my hubby drove me home. I did great and still am doing great! I never 2nd guessed my doctors capabilities. Dr. Billings is amazing and I trust him 100%. I've also had several other surgeries that were day surgeries. So, it really wasn't an issue with me at all. I checked in at 6 am and was released by 7 pm. The only reason I stayed so late was because I always tend to over sleep the anesthesia. It was a great nap. Ha ha!

I could hardly tolerate a drop of Water first day, I was kept on iv fluids for 24 hours. Had swallow study to check leak next day and then went home. I did not have vomiting next day, and could tolerate some fluids.

Mine was outpatient as well. I think my surgery was around 9:30-10am and I was home by 8pm (I live a little over an hr away from the hospital) I was very fortunate though and had no pain of any kind. I went in knowing I was going to have outpatient surgery, but they told us ahead of time it's possible we might have to stay depending on how we're doing afterwards.

Best of luck!!!

I was an outpatient at a small surgical center that seems pretty much devoted to WLS related procedures (I had my upper endoscopy there too). In at 6 a.m. and released 23 hours later. The center had multiple large recliners, which is where I spent all of my post op time when I wasn't circling the nurses desk or walking to the bathroom.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
