Deeming of Income and Resources. If your boyfriend does not qualify for SSI, his income and resources may reduce your benefits. Because you are living in the same household, Social Security deems some of his income and resources as for your benefit.
Recovery in the Hospital. Patients spend an average of two to five days in the hospital following bariatric surgery, or longer if complications develop. Patients who undergo laparoscopic bariatric surgery usually have a shorter hospital stay. When you return to your hospital room after surgery, you will be closely monitored by your nurses. Along with periodic monitoring of your vital signs â blood pressure, pulse, temperature and respiration â your nurses will encourage and help you to perform deep breathing, coughing, leg movement exercises and to get out of bed.
Recovery Donors usually stay in the hospital for four to seven days after surgery. Although recovery time varies, most donors can resume normal activity one month after surgery and can return to work within six weeks. It is important to talk to your doctor about what to expect. Every transplant hospital is required to report data on the health and status of living donors at certain time frames up to two years after donation. The information learned about donor outcomes can help future potential living donors make informed decisions.
