Length of Hospital Stay Following Procedure



Recommended Posts

I am having my Sleeve surgery tomorrow and wanted to know what the length of your hospital stay was following surgery? I was told by the Surgical Nurse that called me today that some people go home the same day. The Medical doctor that did my clearance two weeks ago stated one night and my surgeon said one to two nights. Obviously its based on any complications that may arise but just curious if you don't mind sharing. Thank you!

I ended up staying a second night - my white blood cell count wasn’t where the doctor wanted it and she preferred me to stay another night to make sure it came back to a good level. Honestly, if it hadn’t been for COVID, I would have gone home, but the thought of having an issue and having to come back to an ER made me stay. For the record, I felt just fine and really had very little pain - but I was up and walking as soon as possible. The count was back to a normal level the next morning and I was home by 10 am.

My surgery was at 8am, I left the hospital the next day at around 10am. I would have LOVED to have gone home the same day, and I could have safely....but my doctor required everyone to spend the night.

I think most people are more comfortable staying a day or two.

My team told me probably two nights but they let me go home after one. I had little pain and was getting fluids down as expected for that point and urinating fine. I ended up having to go back as outpatient to get two bags of fluids though cause of signs of dehydration.

I had my sleeve done at 8:30 AM and was on my way home around 6 PM the same day! I think it all depends on your surgeon and how well you tolerate the anesthesia and your recovery!! good luck!!!

That's awesome. Same for me.

Monday surgery. Just started drinking Protein Shakes again. Was 329 at time of surgery and was 321 today.

Never thought I'd be so excited for pureed foods and baby food.

We got this.

I had surgery at 7:30 am on the 22 nd and stayed until the 24 th. I had so much swelling my Water wouldn’t pass. It was upsetting bc I wanted to be out the night of surgery. But it was something I couldn’t control.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
