I'm having my VSG tomorrow just wondering how long did you stay. I'm going to pack my hospital bag. I didn't think about asking my Doctor.

Thank you

I was there the day of surgery, stayed the night and went home the next evening. I had no complications and passed my swallow test so there was no reason to be kept there any longer. Why don't you call your surgeons office and ask.

Good luck to you on the big day!!!

Two nights - I had surgery and the next day the barium swallow. And then I had to be able drink 4oz in an hour before I could go home - so one more night.

I had surgery at 7 AM Monday and was home by 7 PM on Tuesday. I had to consume 48 oz of Clear Liquids before I was allowed to leave, and needed to be able to walk around without any assistance.

Not sure if it makes a difference but I had RNY.

Good luck! Pack a book and headphones, as well as a pair of loose fitting shorts and/or a robe.

4 nights. Apparently that is long compared to others.
I was so dehydrated after surgery that I had an IV connected the whole time. On day 2 even 2 IVs for a few hours.
I was so freaked out about the first week that this was a blessing for me. Had my own room and a TV and if anything was wrong I could call somebody.
I was glad. I would have freaked out at home alone.

Six or seven hours after surgery. Had surgery at about noon and left around 7-7:30 pm that same day. I drank my Water, peed and walked so they kick you out!

I was supposed to go home the day after, but they kept me an additional 24 hours due to pain control issues (which were never resolved, just one of the unlucky ones with debilitating pain for 6 weeks).

I had one night in the hospital and was released the next day after I passed the barium swallow test and also was able to consume 4oz of water/hour for a few hours. I know some individuals had to stay one extra night in the hospital just because the Water was hard to get down at first.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
