Surgery noon Monday went home Wednesday afternoon


Bypass for me, but they ended up doing a hernia repair when they are in there. Surgery first thing Thursday morning and home late Saturday.


6 days, had complications with my blood levels. Everything else was fine though.

"You may see me struggle but you will never see me quit"

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 was out the same day. In at 5am home around 7pm...
