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.

Lol good luck if you go home same day.you can't be that tough.has anyone told you it's a major surgery. I stayed 2nights and 3days and wish it was longer .I had to go back in 2 days later to get rehydrated it's no joke.

I just got mine done last week, yea it's major and I was in pain, honestly ask for a lot of pain medication. I wouldn't do it again. Good luck

I went to a recovery place (a home) for one night.

I couldn't stand the pain & sickness I felt after surgery. It's a major surgery, ask for a lot of pain medication. Good luck

I did.

I'm getting my surgery this Tuesday thinking of backing out I'm scared

why?

Jewels77 being afraid is normal just don't let it take over. I had my sleeve done on the 24th I was terrified but I survived. No pain as of today just tenderness, day one was the worst (I had a why did I do this moment) however, 2day and so on was a breeze just remember to sip slow and try to get those 4oz in you will be ok and it is well worth it.

Don't back out. I was scared I was sleeved March 17 and the morning of I cried all the way up until they gave me something to calm my nerves. The nurses told me most people give the same reaction. I remember when I woke up from surgery thinking IM SO HAPPY I WENT THROUGH WITH IT. Like they say each day gets better. I'm happy I did it.

I get so many mixed responses in regards to pain. Some seem to think its a breeze and just feel sore and others are in terrible pain. I had a laprascopic surgery before and really wasn't in much pain at all. My doctor said I was tougher than most and seemed to take it better than average by far so I hope it's a good indicator that it won't be too bad. I have always thought I had a hefty pain tolerance. Broke my arm in a car accident and turned down meds in ER. I don't like narcotics - I used Motrin and ice. I hope this is similar cause if it is I'll be fine

@@Stacey78 - I had to stay for the leak test the next day. I had no issues and took pain meds only the first day home and once or twice at night, then quit them all together. I didn't need them.

@Stacey78 My surgery was outpatient ... I was there at 8 am and home by 2 ...

I went through True Results and it was done by a local bariatric clinic here in Atlanta ...

I had excellent care before, during and after so far ... ( 9 months out )

I am so glad I didn't have the additional costs of a hospital stay, etc ... since I was self pay ...

If I understand your post correctly ... you're having yours today ... GOOD LUCK!!!!

Welcome to the club!!

This was my first major surgery. I was super nervous but I was determined. I was up walking that day and think it helped a ton! I didn't get a pain pump, but asked for some meds. Surprised at how "easy" it was. My only regret is that I didn't do it two years ago. I'm about 5 weeks out, feeling great and looking forward to more weigh loss. Sounds like you're tough! I think you'll do great!
