How long before you were discharged after surgery?

[berkeleycurves 22]

I was discharged after 24 hours, I'm wondering if that's normal. The post op pain has only slightly gotten better by today (day 5) and I'm wondering if it's because i left the hospital so soon.

How long were you there?

My surgeon said the normal release is 1-2 days, but most of his clients stayed 2 days. I stayed 2 days which was good because I was still in a decent amount of pain the day after.

I was in the hospital four to five days, can't really remember. I had issues with not drinking anything, not being able to go to the bathroom. So no Protein intake at all. They would not discharge me until I could go to the bathroom, took days.

I stayed two days. Had a difficult first night and my surgeon decided I earned an extra nights stay.

I got out of recovery & was in my room around 5:30pm, and went home the next day around 2pm. My surgeon offered me a second night, but I just wanted to be in my own bed & I wasn't experiencing any kind of complications.

Two nights for me.

My surgery was at 7:30 AM Dec 10th and I was discharged at 9 pm Dec 11th. I could have stayed another night but decided that I would be more comfortable at home.

I haven't had surgery yet but they have told me I will be in for 1-2 days depending on any possible complications. When I had the band put on ten years ago they had me up and walking about an hour after surgery, then the next day they took a bunch of us into town to shop and walk (mainly get us out walking). I was in the hospital for two nights but I was in Mexico, too.

Four days for me but that was because I lived over 100 miles from the hospital and the doctor wanted to make sure there were no complications.

4 days for me!

2 nights

[bluedreams86 61]

I had surgery on Nov 17 (10am) and i was discharged around 12pm the next day. I was walking and moving the day of surgery and the entire morning the following day. Everyone is different. I wasn't in too much pain, it was just mainly nausea from the anesthesia and lots of gas
