How long were you in the hospital? My surgeon said as long as everything is good I should only be there 24 hours. However I'm seeing a lot of people say they stayed 2+ days...

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 was sleeved 10/5 they wanted to discharge me the next day I refuse to be sent home that soon I stayed two more days

I was there a little over 24 hrs! I arrived at 7:00 to register and I was discharged the next day about 1:30pm!

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.

One night.

2 nights.

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 was in two nights but only 36 hours evening op and discharged morning of second day. I need it couldn't imagine going home sooner the anathesisa hits me hard and pain bad dizzy etc. But when I went home i felt ready and more secure etc.

My dr said I was okay to go The day after. I stayed an additional day since it was easier to get out of bed, have help, etc.

Had my surgery at 2 pm and was released at 10:30 pm I luckily did not have any complications, but I think that was way to soon

I think the reason I'm happiest I stayed the night is that the first night, I had to be on oxygen because when I would sleep, my oxygen saturation would go down lower than they wanted. It was evidently an effect of the anesthesia and the pain meds.
