Hospital Stay?

[Ginger Belle 54]

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; -)

Mine was supposed to be 2. I had a revision from band to bypass. I had a minor complication and stayed 4 nights.

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.

I was scheduled for one night with my RNY. I had no surgery complications, but could not keep liquids down so spent an extra night. Felt great the following 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.

I had two nights no complications.

Ginger, if you're not well enough to leave after the 1 night they will keep you. Don't worry girl

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. :-(
