I was supposed to go home the next day but that didn’t happen. I was dry heaving and couldn’t drink so I got to stay until I was holding Fluid down which was 3 nights. I’m 8 days out now :) feeling pretty great. Ready to get these staples out lol

I stayed two nights and like you, my surgeon was three hours away. (I also have twins by the way but they are teenagers). Anyway so I drove myself down to the surgery and stayed the two nights. Then my husband came and picked me up when they released me and drove me home. I left my car sitting at the hospital for two weeks! It was kind of inconvenient but that was how we had to do it.

Hi guys! I'm new here. I was recently approved for gastric sleeve. I am nervous and excited!

I was told that I have to stay over night at least 1 night after my surgery. Is 1 night typical or will it turn into more?

I live about 1.5 hours away from the hospital my surgeon performs her surgeries and have 2 year old twins. My MIL is staying with them and I told her it should only be one night. My husband is taking the whole week off to help me recover and take care of my twins.

How many nights did you stay in the hospital? Were you in a lot of pain? Can I hold toddlers afterwards?

I stayed one night. As far as your babies, hold- yes. Pick up - no. I watch my grand babies and two of them are two and under. I just had to help them climb up in my lap (while getting them to avoid the tender parts) or have some one else hand them to me. Good luck! And what a great hubs for taking off work 👍🏻

Hello, I stayed 3 days to much for me but you can’t hold the baby for a while. At least until your doctor says it’s okay. I have a baby too and I was told I couldn’t hold him for 6 weeks. So I just lay in bed and play with him from there. Can’t do much because you can hurt your insides. I’m in so much pain it’s not even funny and it’s been 3 weeks for me.

I was only in for 1 night. The day after they usually want to make sure you can keep liquid down. At least for the first few weeks my doc said don’t lift anything above 25lbs but I’m sure they could sit on your lap but careful around the stomach. It will be very tender to touch for about a week although mine lasted about 2 weeks.

Was required to stay 3 nights, but since I live 3hrs flight time away from the hospital doing the surgery, and having one or 2 other health issues with potential issues and risk, I was kept for 4 days, then discharged into a close-by hotel, and finally given flight clearance to travel home. I feel sure that usually, where there are no complicating factors and where the surgery has also been uncomplicated, as it usually is, that 2 - 3 days discharge is commonplace. Good luck with it all!! :)

Hi I stayed in hospital 2nights but it was because of the pain from the gas they give you during surgery! But I walked as much as I could and what helped me move the gas was lying on my side and a lot of walking believe me it’s worth it in the end ! I just had my sleeve surgery two weeks ago !

My surgery was at 10am and I got to leave around 6pm the next evening. No pain just soreness. You’ll be in no shape to hold your babies. I have Lil ones too. It’s hard I know.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
