How many nights did you stay in the hospital with VSG surgery?
I stayed two nights but my hubby was only in one night. I also had a hernia repair during surgery so I think I had more pain and swelling. I think it is fine if the dr says that is the standard for their patients as long as it doesn't sound like a rule. Our surgeon said at the outset that 2 days was normal but he had a couple patients that went home after 1 night and a couple that stayed 3 nights. I think that flexibility to give you the care you individually need after surgery is imperative.

I spent 1 night, but was told from the start 1-3, and most likely 2...I was up 30 minutes after arriving in my actual room, and was doing laps almost immediately. My surgery was 8a Thursday, was released 9p friday...
