Mine would have been one night, but it turned to two because I threw up a few times. It was likely from the antibiotic they were giving me. As soon as they removed the antibiotic IV, I was fine and was discharged later that day.

I had sleeve, hernia repair and gallbladder removed. I went in at 1 pm and was in my room by 6 pm. Surgery was about 2 hours and recovery was 3 hours. My leak test was done during the surgery, how I have no idea. 3 hours in recovery was due to BP being extremely low.

I am facing the same procedures. Can I ask how the recovery went for you after you came home? I have taken 5 weeks off of work as I anticipate it will be a more difficult recovery.

My VSG and hiatal hernia repair was about 1.5 hours long. Zero complications or pain post surgery. Only had nausea first night as expected. I did spend two nights at the hospital. Self paid.

I don't want to scare you but recovery is not going too well so far.

Surgery was a success, Sent home @ 6 PM yesterday. I called Dr. @ 1:30 AM & he said to go back to hospital for IV pain meds. I Checked with RN @ 8:00 AM & she told me same thing. Spouse & I were exhausted so rested and went back to hospital at 2:00 PM today. The pain meds are making me sleep but not controlling pain. Been here all day, they gave me dilaud for pain, fluids & Vitamins as I'm dehydrated & now I have a UTI. On the way home now from hospital & have to follow up on Thursday with surgeon. All I've had is Water & meds. No Protein at all. Sometimes I can't even keep the water down without having to throw up.

      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?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
