I'm a little freaked out and I'm hoping for some guidance from this group of veterans. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on April 4. I have been told that I will go home on the same day. I was visiting with some newly sleeved ladies in the doctor's waiting room and heard that some stayed overnight and some went home the same day.

I had an appointment today with the nutritionist and I asked what determined if I stay overnight or go home same day. She said that since I was self pay, I would go home same day but that some insurance requires an overnight stay.

Now I'm freaked out. Has anyone gone home the day of surgery? Can you tell me if you did ok without a nurse that first night? Should I tell him that I'll pay for the night to be able to stay?

Help!

My surgery is 4/11 and I'll be going home the same day. I've discussed this with the physician and feel comfortable. Now if there are any complications they will keep you. He had explained that there are many surgeries that are done the very same way and of no complications there is no need. You'll have you're prescriptions prior to and can get your rest and walk to pass the gas.

Like the poster before me I wish I could have gone home the same day. The hospital that my insurance required me to stay in was horrible. I got no sleep whatsoever because they were shredding paper outside my room all night long. The nurses did not respond to equipment alarms that we're going off constantly. It was a horrible experience. When I finally got released I think I sprinted to the car to get out of there. The only sleep I got in 3 days was the surgery itself.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
