My doc told me to plan on 2 and a half days. So day of surgery, plus two overnights, then discharged the third morning.

I was told that without any complications, plan on staying overnight. That's what I was told, and that was what I did....wish you the very best!!

One night, just about 36 hours from pre op to discharge for me. The doctor said to plan for 1 to 3 nights, with 1 night being most common.

I am an outlier. I went home the same day. Had to argue with the physician about this but the nurse practitioner was okay with it. Glad I did. I had no problems.

I went home the day after surgery. I had surgery around 7 am and went home about 2 pm the next day.

I was in on a Monday morning at 5am for surgery and discharged that Thursday late afternoon. My program has a three day stay usually for the sleeve, I stayed an extra day to consume more liquids.< /p>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
