Anyone go home day of surgery?



Recommended Posts

I am getting sleeved tomorrow morning, supposed to stay 1-2 nights- depends on how well I can tolerate fluids. Anyone go home same day? I really don't want to stay at all. I work at a hospital - really don't want to sleep there.

Agree ! I've had over 20 surgerys and I wanna go

Home after mine. Hate being away from my kids as surgerys is only time

I have and I wanna go

Home ASAP.

I had surgery at 3 pm Friday and went home 9am Saturday. So even though it was less than 24 hours it was overnight. I never actually slept though. Just watched TV, Facetimed with friends, emailed, texted and walked the halls. I can never sleep after anesthesia.

I had no pain or nausea and was sipping fluids. After being discharged I walked 2 miles, went shopping, took a nap, then watched a movie before going out to dinner with my sister. I sipped chicken broth and watched her eat enchiladas and sip her margarita.

I'll be having mine tomorrow also and I'll be going home same day. It's an outpatient surgery for me.

If, you have sleeve, you need to do UGI, after that is up to the doctor!

I ended up staying the night thank goodness. Difficulty in urinating which is the norm for me and anesthesia but worst of all the gas pains. I walked, I sipped, I got drugs, and went home the next day in the evening. Still battling gas at day 5 but each day gets better. Able to drink and get Protein in for most part.

There is no way I would have been well enough to go home. I was still in a cycle of vomiting, sleeping, moaning 24hrs after.

I stayed for 3 nights and the cab ride home was almost unbearable. I also had my gallbladder removed when I was sleeved.

Others I shared a room with were up and about 24hrs later.

I had my sleeve 3/30 at an outpatient surgery center and went home the same day with no issues. Hope you are doing well!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
