I have my VSG date!!! September 1st is my official date(they had to push it back from the original august 27th)????. I was just wondering how long everyone else's stay in the hospital was. My surgeon says the "norm" for his patients are 1-2 days, meaning 1-2 overnights. Please give me some insight...thanks!

I spent two nights due to nausea and not being able to drink as much as they wanted me to post op.

Just overnight for me. I had no complications, very little nausea and no vomiting. Thank the lord!

Surgery on Friday morning, discharged Sunday early afternoon.

I was supposed to only stay one night but I earned an extra night in the hospital because I wasn't able to drink enough water.

I only stayed one night! My surgeon offered to let me go home a few hours after my procedure because it went so well, but I still insisted on staying the night. And I'm glad I did because I had horrible heartburn that night and needed the nurses!

4 hours! I was released 4 hours after I was moved to recovery! No issues at all and was super happy to be relaxing in my own home. Was off the pain meds within 48 hours.

Less than two weeks post-op and feel like a million bucks!

My program required a 2 night stay. However, I did so well and was feeling so great that they let me leave after one night.

I stayed just one night which is the minimum for sleeve patients with my surgeon and was released when the doc was making her rounds first thing in the morning. Had to wait till paperwork was done and left the hospital around 10:00.

Surgery was at 2:30pm and was discharged at 2pm the next day.

Believe your surgeon!

Most everyone I know of has been home in a day or two unless there is some kind of complication.

My surgery was on Monday and I came home on Tuesday.

I'm from Australia so things may be different here but I'm booked for a 5 day stay!

I had surgery on Thursday around 5pm and left hospital n the Sunday about 3pm. I felt that was perfect for me.

I stayed three nights because I couldn't drink Water and they had a hard time controlling my pain level. I didn't have any actual complications, and I am glad they held me. I needed IV pain meds and going home too soon would have been doable but very uncomfortable. I think the majority of people stay 1-2 nights.

I'm from Australia too, but my surgeon has told me it'll be 1-2 nights depending on how I recover.

I may have to double check mine then but I was sure that's what he said. I'll call tomorrow and let you know what he says ????
