Hey everyone? How is everyone doing? Blessed and doing great I pray. Well my question is how long was your hospital stay with your procedures? I supposed to be having gastric bypass surgery but they only put a one night hospital stay. I thought , well assumed that the gastric sleeve procedure is one night while the gastric bypass was two? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks; -)

It really depends on your body and surgeon but for RNY it's typically 2 nights. I had some issues my surgeon was concerned with so I ended up staying 5 nights. It was brutal.

My bypass surgery was in the morning. I was told I had to be able to drink a certain amount of Water and be able to go to the bathroom in order to go home - I was discharged the next afternoon, so 1 night stay for me. I'm excited for you - good luck!

I had RNY gastric bypass surgery and was in the hospital two days. But I was really ready to go home after one day.

Thanks for all the replies. I was just curious. When I heard the insurance lady say one night and for RNY I asked her "are you sure?" Gonna talk to my doc and make sure of what surgery I am getting. I jbkw we agreed on RNY but want to make sure nothing has changed on his end. But thanks once again. You guys are awesome and pray you all are doing great.

Well I am on hold for now. Surgery was supposed to be July 11th but my docs office messed up and I was supposed to have one more nutrition appointment in June so it's scheduled for the 30th. And then I have an end of program Appt with my doc in July hopefully on the 6th. Then they will submit the rest of the info to insurance. Hopefully an approval with a new surgery date for end of July or early August. :-(

      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.
