Uuuugh I hate staying the hospital. I've been there for 8 days in a row before so this is considerably less. I just hate it so much. Just slice me open, sew me up and send me home to my nice warm comfy bed with my heating blanket and no one to bother me.

My pain level seems to high anybody else experiencing this??

Everybody feels pain differently. Were you given post-surgical pain meds to have at home? (If you're at home.) Are you taking them? How's your support system? How is your sleep? Stressors can make you feel pain more.

I came in late late PM, had the surgery early AM. But here before they let you out they have to do a leak test. I got a fever. They didn't let me leave. They suspected a whole in my stomach but they couldn't find it (for days!) I got a bad infection and they had to open me up twice more. So.. what was suppose to be a max 48hrs turned into 21days! Complications DO happen and they suck!

My hospital stay was 2 days. I'm stunned to see some members went home the same day. It's important to have your vitals checked and pain managed

I'm one of the ones who went home the same day. I realize that everyone's experience is different, but I can't imagine why I would have needed to stay any longer. After I woke up in the recovery room, I got up and walked to my room. I never even got into bed, just sat up and walked around all day. My vitals were all fine and I didn't really have much pain. The only reason I took the pain meds at all was because the doctor said I should just to make sure that I didn't start hurting.

My stay was 4 nights because I couldn't sip anything. Felt very nauseas and nothing would help my nausea.

I was out in 24. I had hardly any pain and freaked them out by jumping off the gurney to walk around after surgery. A lady I was in with had a conversion from lap band to sleeve. She had to stay longer.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
