How many nights in hospital did you stay? One company I spoke to said I'd stay one night, but the one I've chosen said 2 nights. Both were the same price.

But one said I needed a 4 week milk pre op, and the other said a 10 day low calorie pre op diet.

They differ so much. I'm in the uk.

I spent 1 night/24hr for observation. It was the hospital's policy, not the surgeon. I do know of some that have not had to spend the night at all. I'm in the US, so I'm not sure if it's different. Also, I had to do a 14 day High Protein 'Liver Shrink' diet before the surgery.

I was in for 1 night. They only kept me that long to make sure my blood pressure and blood sugar levels were stable. After the leak test - the next morning - I was released.

My surgeon requires a 2-3 night stay.. I'm in Canada

My doctor told me to plan on 2 nights because mine was revision surgery but I went home the next day because I felt fine

14 day all liquid pre-op, 2 nights in the hospital.

Two nights at the hospital. I was still in a lot of pain by the second day and wasn't ready to drink anything until the third day.

I am in Australia I was in 4 nights no way I could have went home day one or two for that matter by the third afternoon I could have gone home

2 nights...first night is day of your surgery and you do not drink anything. then the 2nd day you start Clear liquids...then released the next morning

i've never heard of a milk pre-op diet. sounds od

i had 2 week liquid protien diet as preop

Five nights...one pre op and four post op with Corvala at hospital angeles in TJ, mx. I have read a lot of posts were patients still have issues three or four days out.

I was meant to be in 2 nights 3 days however i had some complications which had me in 4 nights 5 days. Im in Australia by the way.
