How long was your hospital stay?



Recommended Posts

I was two days.

It really seems to vary quite a bit, depending on the surgeon.

I stayed one night, but my surgeon actually asked me if I wanted to stay or go home. I went hone because I had someone staying with my kid and didn't want to inconvenience them any longer than was necessary. I would of stayed a second night if I didn't have that situation.

Surgery at 3pm, out by 9am, shopping by 10am. Back the 3rd day to have drain removed. I had no nausea or pain and could drink (sip) just fine, so I would have been very bored actually staying in the hospital that whole time.

I spent one night and discharged around lunch time the next day.

I stayed overnight...that was all I needed and that was all I could stand!! Not because of pain, because that was very well controlled. Not because of the hospital, because the hospital and staff all were absolutely great!! It was because I had a very bad, noisy whining and complaining roommate!! Now sure what he was in for, but man did this guy complain, and he seemed to have a big issue with me using the bathroom...I think he thought it was his and not ours to share!! But anyway, I digress...most people I know and spoke to pretty much had an overnight stay and that's about it.

Ugh I stayed 3 nights. Surgery was 9:30am on a Tuesday and I went home at noon on Friday. But I also had a hiatel hernia repair that was huge and also removal of my lap band port (wasn't removed when the actual band was removed as that was an emergency situation and I was not stable). I was in a lot of pain and was so so nauseous after the sleeve, but was absolutely fine when they released me.

I spent three nights in the hospital,but that was because I had nausea and vomiting the day after and couldn't keep anything down. That put me a day behind as far as liquids. By the day I went home I was keeping Jello and broth down. So was released to go home.

I am having my surgery on monday the 15th. I am going to enjoy however long i am there even if i am in pain becaue i am a single mother and i will pretend this is a vaction. I love my daughter this is why i am doing this but it will be nice to know she is well taken care of so i can get the rest that i will need. She is so hyper from the moment she wakes till the fight with bedtime and she accidentally falls asleep. Haha

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
