Questions...How many nights did those of you who had gastric bypass stay in the hospital? I was just wondering because I saw something where there was a 2 night stay for bypass but my insurance letter only listed one night stay approval.

I stayed two night. But it was the dr choice if thought I was ready to go home or not. He had to make sure I was able to drink and keep it down .

I'm pretty upset. My hernia is the size of a football. I had it repaired in 2008. But the mesh is torn and no longer stapled... it was all pushed to the side. so since its torn they had to repair that. I need to come back in three months for my bypass. Ugh

I hate to hear that! Well, one more hurdle down!

I only stayed one night. If I wasn't able to keep down the Protein Shakes I would've had to stay a second night.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
