two nights, about 48hrs total.

i actually requested to stay the second night because i could not get rid of all the air they pumped into me. i felt like a swollen tick. glad i did. the next day i was a little better and much more able to go home.

Had surgery Monday afternoon. My surgeon came in Tuesday At 4 pm and asked if I wanted to go home. I could have, but my husband had just left and had to get my kids to their activities. So two nights it was, which was fine for me.

I spent 3 days including the day of surgery, but I had complications with anesthesia suppressing my breathing and oxygen so I couldn't even get out of bed or sit up without fainting and needing oxygen support until I weaned off the pain meds.

I had surgery Aug 1 (Tues) and they anticipated that I'd be there until Thurs. I was discharged Wed. evening, so one night. That was a surprise.

Anyone do a sleeve to bypass revision? Curious about how recovery time with sleeve compares to bypass revision. Thanks!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      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! 😞
