Surgery was 3/19, Discharged 24 hours after RNY?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I had surgery on Tuesday and was discharged yesterday at 5:25pm? Does that seem a little fast to anyone? I had RNY.

Any tips for making recovery easier?

I have heard of one day in but the averge is two. I loved my heating pad during recovery. One thing I can say is do not push it. I got cocky about a week out and reinjured some of my 'wounds'. WOW would not wish that on anyone. I was already off of pain meds and was having an allergic reaction so I had to suffer through it. Also, take everything slow at first... eating, drinking, walking, exercise, etc.

good luck and congrats

Most people in my program go home the next day. They gave me the option to stay a second day and I took it, wanted to make sure I had no problems.

Every program is different. I had surgery on a Thursday and was out of the hospital Sunday afternoon. That is the norm for my specific program. They like to watch us for at least 48 hours for leaks since that is a high prevalence time to get them and make sure we are tolerating full liquids.< /p>

I went home in 24 hours. I was walking laps around the nurses station. I have a severe aversion to hospitals tho and felt like I would heal better at home. And my dr concurred. Good luck and be sure and rest and sip your fluids. Walk as much as possible.

I had a revision stayed in three days. Home and in a recliner for 2,5 weeks with horrific pain, good as new week 3 now in week 6 everything I have eaten has been ok I'm listening to my body the most I have had is a little belching when I take that extra bite or drink my fluids to fast.. I didn't lose any weight for week five but realized its common and to not weigh more than once a week.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
