Go home day of surgery? Anyone?



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.

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!!

      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?

      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
