How long is the hospital stay



Recommended Posts

I was supposed to stay one night and be released the next day. However, I opted to stay an extra night due to how horrible I felt due to my gas pains.

I was scheduled for 2 but ended up staying for 3 nights. I was very nauseated and couldn't keep anything down

I spent one night and was discharged mid-morning the next day. I have heard everything from a same-day discharge to one night to two nights. YMMV.

I stayed two nights due to the nausea and vomiting.

I stayed two nights due to nausea and mild dehydration. I was sleeping so much that I wasn't getting in enough fluids. My surgeon threatened me with a third night, and that was the push I needed to start drinking more.

I stayed three nights due to the pain, low oxygen, sleepy bladder, and my inability to drink 40 oz in a day.

My surgeon keeps eveyone at least 1 night, sometimes 2.

There is a large surgery group in Dallas that releases it's patients the same day as surgery.

One night and released the next day. The key is to get up and walk (or shuffle) because this will help with the gas pains that inevitably come after surgery. Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.

I was released the same day. Surgery at 8:30, home by 2pm.

Two nights in hospital. This was to ensure pain was controllable, that i could go to the toilet myself and also do a swallow test x-ray to ensure no ruptures or leakage.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
