Every person and program is different. i stayed one night because I was doing well and drinking well but the woman in the room next to mine who went to my same clinic was in for 2 nights because of nausea and blood pressure being either too high or too low, I don't remember. She didn't have blood pressure issues before surgery

I stood 2 nights bc of vomiting, slight fever and irregular blood pressure. It was all over the place. But I didn't mind. It gave me time to adjust before going home and being on my own.

I know my surgeon does surgery on Tuesday and if gastric sleeve your able to go Home Friday earliest. Lapband is same or next day and bypass is 4 days.

I went home one day after having my sleeve. Wish I could have gone home the same day.

My surgeon only required a 1 night stay.

I had my surgery on Tuesday, and I was supposed to go home on Thursday, but now they are saying that I am doing so well that I might go home tonight

My surgeon only required that I stay one night. But he told me to plan on two, pending any complications.

I just had my sleeve and hernia repair Tuesday (1-17-17) and it was done outpatient. No problems at all so far. Feel so good I wondered if they even really did the surgery

My surgery was at 1pm. I was home by 7:30 pm that evening.

Mine was supposed to be just an overnight stay, but I ended up staying 2 nights. I had a really tough time coming out of anesthesia due to sleep apnea, so I was sent to ICU the first night. Then I went to a regular room the next day and spent the next night. So had surgery on Wednesday, and went home on Friday.

Mine was one night, I was grateful. Had really bad shoulder pain and got iv narcotics all night for it. That was my biggest complaint after surgery. It hurt for like a week. They told me that can happen but man it sucked.

I was wondering how long you would have to stay at the hospital after having the gastric sleeve

This was a question I had to and started comparing my recovery to others - which didn't help!

I stayed in the hospital for 3 nights and I am glad I did. I had a really rough second day and needed that extra night to feel comfortable. Your body will tell you what you are able to do, and it's so important to listen. If you need another night, take it. Don't push it. Feel confident that you can make it through :)

Usually two days but I insisted on going on next day. Which I did. But wished I stayed. I missed the attention from the nurses. Making sure I was comfortable
