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

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

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

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
