Can you all tell me how long you had to stay in the hospital?

And by the way, my surgery date got rescheduled from March16 to the 30th. I'm not very happy today

Girl, it will go by in a flash!! I stayed one night!

Tanya, most people stay in the hospital one night, if that. I was in and out the same day.

Don't worry about the rescheduling. March has begun and the end will come sooner than you think!! (On March 30 my brother will be turning 45, so it will be coming very quickly for him. )

I stayed overnight, but was happy to do so. I figured I might just as well be there in a bed that I could raise/lower, and people fussing over me! lol

I stayed overnight. Left the next day around 3 because I had a little trouble peeing. Then when everything was flowing again I went home.

I wouldn't have liked to come out same day. My Doc does two nights and I was glad of them although more than able to come home on morning of day two, less than 48 hour post op.

One night hospital stay for me and I was ready to go home, much better rest at home.

I stayed one night. I'm sorry your date got moved, but it's just a little bump in the road. You'll get your band.

Tanya I am so sorry your band date got changed! Whata bummer. It will get here before ya know it. Keep that chin up girl. you will get that band.

My Dr. said he will only keep me a few hours after surgery. Of course unless there are complications. He said I would go it at 5:30 am and my surgery will start at 7:30 am I should be home by that same afternnoon.I would much rather recover at home.

Sorry about your date being rescheduled. It's hard when you've been anticipating something and then find it moved farther away.

I stayed zero nights in the hospital. I dont' like hospitals, I had no pain and I begged to go home the same day. I was glad it worked out like that.

I had my surgery and left the hospital within about 4 hours or waking up. Maybe less, I can't exactly remember it was over a year and a half ago. I woke up, they gave me juice. Took my vitals, made me do a couple laps around the recovery room and sent me home.

My DH spent a couple of nights in hospital, but he is a special case. They are keeping me overnight, but I'm a special case too. Most of the folks that use my DR are home that same day.

I stayed three nights.

I was only surpose to stay ONE!

I had complications with my band being swollen and I had to be on a lot of antinflamitories...

The day I left I had drank some sips of grape juice and puked it all up...

BUT MY Plane left that day and I HAD TO GO HOME!!

So I just got up and said "I gotta go" "I will be fine, I know what to do"

I didnt have the money to waste on changing my flight.

They said my band was tight, but it only meant I would loose more weight and have to be more carefull..

I had a hard time at home for a few more days but nOW I am Just great!

I am on day 16, and I drink tomatoe Soup everyday and popcycles and my favorite thing in the world grape Juice.

Thanks a lot folks. I know my banding date will come but I have been waiting a loooonnnggg time! If any of you remember my journey started last July and I am still waiting. Ok so I got rescheduled from the 16th to the 30th it doesnt look too bad but I tell you if I get one more call from the surgeon's office about another date I think I'll scream. I'm gonna keep my head up and hopefully one day join you all in bandland!

Hi there. I stayed overnight, but my doc gave me the choice to go home the same day. I would reccomend you stay overnight if possible.

Sorry they moved your date, however march 30 will be here in a jiff, REALLY!

I was supposed to be in the hospital overnight but was realeased around 8pm.

Usually it is an overnight stay.
