Leslie H 0 Posted April 25, 2012 I am noticing most of you stayed in the hospital for aleast a little time...were anyof you supposed to be outpatient? And if so how long did they keep you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yodelania 60 Posted April 26, 2012 Hi Leslie I don't think that there's a possibility to have RNY WLS and not been admitted. I'm not sure is RNY is classify as major surgery (but I think so) but why I know is that it requires to be an In-Pt since serious complications may develop right after surgery (DVTs being one of the scary ones) and later as well. I think doctors want to make sure they are sending us home as safe as possible. Regards, Yodelania Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LosingItForMe2011 320 Posted April 26, 2012 my bariatric center requires you stay in the hospital 2 nights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DLCoggin 1,788 Posted April 26, 2012 They told me from day one to expect a 2-3 day hospital stay and mine was two days. I would be very cautious about any surgeon that suggested RNY can be done on an outpatient basis. 1 babygirl901 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

josee67 40 Posted April 26, 2012 I only stayed 1 night but my Doctor told me I could go whenever I wanted. I wasn't getting any rest in there so I went home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josee67 40 Posted April 26, 2012 I think it depends on how they do your surgery mine was laparoscopic I had 5 small incisions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raquelrdgz 41 Posted April 26, 2012 I think it depends on how they do your surgery mine was laparoscopic I had 5 small incisions Wow, I assumed you would be required to stay, the next day you get x-rays done to make sure there isn't any issues, you walk around, have to go potty and then you get released. I've had lap band before and was there one night and this one is even more major <~ if that makes sence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevinsBabyGirl85 364 Posted April 26, 2012 I stayed for 3 days from what I understand you have to get an upper gi done to make sure everything is a go and also you have to be up walking and taking in at least 4 ozs in an hour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
