How many days were you in the hospital?

My insurance letter states that it will cover 1 day.

Yes the people that did this and went home the same day. They are strong! I do admire them! But please don't be afraid, I tend to get a little worked up before things like this and try to back out , change my mind you name it! Educate yourself!! From good sources! Ask questions!

I stayed 3 nights but could have stayed 4 or 5 if I wanted.

I can't imagine being a day patient, you are all so very strong!!

My surgeon requires a 1 day stay for gastric sleeve. I tried getting him to release me the day of surgery though. lol

Surgery at 12:30pm out by 4:30pm 4 hours!!!!

I stayed three nights because I asked to stay. It was very helpful for me to rest and have the nursing support. I was nauseous from pain meds and had mild reaction to zofran and toradol. However I never threw up because the meds where changed to ones that worked for me. My advice is to speak up. You HAVE to keep fluids down and they know that.

My surgery was a day surgery. I was out the same evening. I would have been out in the afternoon, but I tend to take an extended nap through the anesthesia every time I am put under for a surgery. Lol! Everything went perfectly and incredibly smooth.
